The Notorious Virtues By Alwyn Hamilton
Calling all romantasy fans! Our first release is The Notorious Virtues, which follows Nora, who is a part of a powerful family that controls all the country’s magic and money. After her mother is found dead, the throne is empty, and Nora and her cousins must compete in a magic competition to take up the mantle. However, Nora’s aunt surprises everyone when she suddenly reveals that she has an illegitimate daughter named Lotte who will also be competing. Reeling from the announcement and the discovery that her mother was murdered, Nora can trust no one in her search to find the killer, except an annoying reporter who despises her family. Meanwhile, Lotte is determined to find out who her father is, even if she gets distracted by a handsome guard and the deadly competition.
