Release Date: February 28, 2012
In sixteen-year-old Felicita’s world, magic is strictly controlled—or so those in power like to believe. After her dearest friend, Ilven, kills herself to escape an arranged marriage, Felicita chooses freedom over privilege. She fakes her own death and leaves her sheltered life as one of Pelimburg’s magical elite behind. Living in the slums, scrubbing dishes for a living, she falls for charismatic Dash while also becoming fascinated with vampire Jannik. Then something shocking washes up on the beach: Ilven’s death has called out of the sea a dangerous, wild magic. Felicita must decide whether her loyalties lie with the family she abandoned . . . or with those who would twist this dark power to destroy Pelimburg’s caste system, and the whole city along with it.
The cover is RIDICULOUSLY creepy, and I love it. The synopsis also sounds lovely - I love magic, and I love arranged marriage related stories, and I love stories of girls who have the power of the world in their hands.
Unfortunately, there is also a love triangle. Involving a vampire. WHY!? Sigh. It looked so fantastic besides that. I'll wait until some reviews pop up before deciding, but I do kind of want to read it.
