In this captivating debut fantasy, perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom. Tamsin, the most powerful witch of her generation, has committed the worst magical sin and is exiled by the ruling Coven. Cursed with the inability to love, Tamsin's only way to regain those feelings is to steal love from others. Wren, on the other hand, is a source, a rare kind of person made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren has spent her life hiding her secret. When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren's father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father. Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that is, if they don't kill each other first.
