From debut author Katharyn Blair comes a heart-stopping fantasy novel, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and The Young Elites, about a teenage runaway who enters a dangerous tournament with an impossible prize.
Vesper Montgomery can summon your worst fear and turn it into a reality--but she's learned the hard way that it's an addicting and dangerous power. One wrong move and you could hurt someone you love.
But when she earns a spot in the Tournament of the Unraveling, where competitors battle it out for a chance to rewrite the past, Vesper finally has a shot to reverse the mistakes that have changed her forever.
She turns to Sam Hardy, a former MMA fighter who's also carrying a tragedy he desperately wants to undo. However, helping heal Sam's heart will mean breaking her own, and the competition forces her to master her powers--powers she has been terrified of since they destroyed her life.
She enters a deadly competition to save the sister she nearly destroyed. But her partner has his own tragedy to undo, and only one of them can win.
- An Action-Packed Magical Tournament: Vesper enters the Tournament of the Unraveling, a high-stakes competition where the prize is a chance to rewrite the past and fix her biggest mistake.
- A Gritty Urban Fantasy World: From the foggy streets of San Francisco to a dangerous underground society of magical misfits, Vesper is on the run from her past and the power she can't control.
- A Slow Burn, High-Stakes Romance: She teams up with Sam, a former MMA fighter with his own secrets. But helping him win means giving up her own chance at redemption, and Vesper is torn between his heart and hers.
- A Heroine with Dangerous Hidden Powers: As a Harbinger, Vesper can summon a person's worst fear into reality. To win, she must master the very magic that destroyed her life--before it destroys her, too.
