The Fox Bride

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Bargain duology, Sasha Peyton Smith, comes a sweeping romantic fantasy where Divine Rivals meets Six of Crows.

A marriage she never wanted. A boy she tried to forget.

When Cass is forced into an arranged marriage with the prince of Alcadia, she never expects to find her childhood best friend and first love waiting at the altar. But the boy she adored is gone, replaced by a cold stranger who secretly leads a notorious ring of magical art thieves called The Foxes.

Cass’s new husband tries to push her away, but her rare abilities may be his only hope of finding a magical painting said to show the end of the world. As Cass and Holden grow closer, attending sparkling parties and preforming daring heists, Cass attempts to solve a mystery of her own—why Holden disappeared from her life in the first place.

As their hunt for the painting becomes increasingly urgent, Cass and Holden realize they may be the only thing standing between their fragile country and ruination—if only they don’t destroy each other first.
