"Sensuous and enthralling, Immortal Rose blooms. This is the magical Bridgerton I've been waiting for with a vibrant heroine, an exceptional world, and my favorite kind of love story - a dangerous one." - Victoria Aveyard, author of the Red Queen
Viola Lockwood is the illegitimate heir of the Rosebournes - a family with the ancient gift of infusing perfume with magic capable of manipulating mind, body and emotion.
When a shocking murder attempt leaves the kingdom vulnerable to a coup, Viola reluctantly strikes a bargain with the royal spymaster, Hugh Thronton. In exchange for crafting Immortal Rose - the singular perfume capable of saving the king's life - she can reclaim the legacy that should have been hers.
As Hugh and Viola race to find the perfume's ingredients, neither can deny the scorching attraction building between them. But a terrible truth lurks in the kingdom's dark underbelly, and not even the strongest perfume can mask the scent of evil lurking out of sight.
"Alexandra Bracken weaves a world as alluring as the rarest perfume, pairing unique magic with a deliciously slow-burn romance that left me breathless." - Danielle L. Jenson, author of A Fate Inked in Blood
"Effervescent, glittering, and utterly captivating, I cannot wait for more!" - Kaylie Smith, author of Phantasma

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
To save herself from prison for crafting perfumes imbued with fairy magic, Viola Lockwood strikes a deal with Hugh Thorton, the silver-tongued royal spymaster, in the captivating adult debut and series launch from bestselling YA author Bracken (Lore). The king of Albion has been poisoned, and Viola is the only one who can concoct a perfume to save him. Though she has no love for the kingdom that has outlawed her gifts and thrown her in prison, Viola agrees to help save the king in exchange for her freedom and the family fortune that's been held from her due to her illegitimacy. As Viola and Hugh scavenge the seedy underbelly of Albion for the lost fairy relics needed for the perfume antidote, a forbidden attraction blooms, danger ramps up, and the kingdom's dark secrets unravel. Exquisite worldbuilding, a unique perfume-based magic system, and expert handling of a dual POV narrative makes for a remarkable start to a mesmerizing new series. Readers will swoon for the slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance as Bracken's elegant prose teases tenderness from guarded characters. This stellar romantasy is sure to thrill the author's adult fans and should win her plenty of new ones.
