Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The dazzling romantic fantasy of House of Marionne continues in this dark and deadly sequel as Quell flees to House of Perl after her deadly power is revealed—only to realize that political games exist in every House.

“The forbidden love story of my wildest dreams.”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on House of Marionne

Unleash the darkness. Claim your power.

Quell Marionne’s explosive final Rite of Induction to House Marionne sent shock waves through the magical world, unearthing long-buried secrets and her own deadly power. But she paid a steep price: her family and her love. Fleeing Chateau Soleil for House of Perl, Quell is now celebrated instead of shunned. She has finally found somewhere to belong. But secrets lurk in every House, and Quell’s quest to find her mom threatens to lead her deeper into the shadows.

Assassin Jordan Wexton, now second-in-command of the Dragun brotherhood, must protect the source of all magic, the Sphere. But the biggest threat to magic is Quell Marionne, the girl he once loved—until she claimed the deadly, outlawed toushana. As the Sphere cracks and war brews among the Houses, can the only way to save the world be to kill his own heart?

Now these two lovers turned enemies must confront their competing ambitions and conflicting loyalties—their lives and the future of magic hang on their decision.

I was so excited for this book because House of Marionne, the first book, was so incredible! I think I rated it 4.5 stars. But sadly this book just fell flat for me.

I'm afraid this book hit the sequel slump for me. I loved book one so much, and I felt like this one was too whirlwind to keep up with.
