Sponsored by Flatiron Books, publisher of the Enchantée duology by Gita Trelease
The Enchantée duology by Gita Trelease follows an orphaned girl in Paris who utilizes dark magic to survive. In All That Glitters, originally published as Enchantée, Camille Durbonne gambled everything she had to keep herself and her sister safe. But as the people of Paris starve and mobs riot, safety may no longer be possible. In the highly-anticipated sequel, Everything That Burns, allegiances shift, violence erupts, and the answers Camille seeks set her on a perilous path, one that may cost her the boy she loves—even her life.
