In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romanies, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted-or embrace her ability, destroy the Binding, spark a revolution, and change the face of magic itself. As rebellion sweeps across Hungary, Anna’s unique ability to break spells becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. Fissures in the Binding that holds her world’s magic are expanding, and the ancient creatures bound by that spell beg Anna to release them. Anna would do anything to belong, but after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spells, Anna finds herself exiled with her aging grandmother to her grandmother’s native Hungary.īut in Hungary, Anna finds that nothing about her world or her own lack of magic is quite as it seems. She believes herself Barren, unable to perform the most rudimentary spells.

Review policy: I only review books that I enjoyed and would recommend to others (hence the predominance of 4-5 star reviews).In an alternate Victorian England where social prestige stems from a trifecta of blood, money, and magic, sixteen-year old Anna Arden is barred from the society she yearns for by a defect of blood. Her first book, BLOOD ROSE REBELLION, comes out Spring 2017 from Knopf. When she's not reading or writing, she enjoys spending time with her chemistry professor husband and three children, watching British period pieces, or hiking through the splendid landscape of southern Utah, where she lives. As an adult, the telling and reading of stories is still one of her favorite things to do.
