In the second installment of the House of Marionne series, readers are swept back into Quell Marionne’s magical journey as she searches for her mother. Following the explosive conclusion of book one, Quell gains access to the elusive House of Perl, where she learns that her magic is not something to fear but to celebrate. Yet, danger still looms as she is hunted by her former lover, Jordan Wexton, who is torn between love and duty.

This is a fantastic read for young adult audiences. Free of spice, the story focuses on themes of self-discovery, found family, and the wonder of magic.
