Lore has been living by her wits since she was a child, running poisons for the cartel that took her in, avoiding the attention of the law, and keeping her illicit affinity for death magic a secret.

When a job goes wrong and Lore is captured by the Sainted King s warrior-monks, she expects death. But King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what s happening – or face the pyre.

Thrust into a lavish court where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted, Lore must navigate an intricate web of politics, religion, and forbidden romance and solve the King s mystery. A mystery more dangerous and twisted than Lore can even imagine.

The Foxglove King is beautifully written, lushly cinematic, unsettling, mysterious – an unputdownable story Ali Hazelwood, New York Times-bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
