Hannah Whitten's The Foxglove King: A Captivating Epic Fantasy

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult has praised Hannah Whitten's latest novel, The Foxglove King, as a "sinister, deadly, and so seductive you won't be able to tear yourself away from this dark gem of a book." The book, which was described as a "gilded, gothic, and romantic new epic fantasy series," follows the story of Lore, a young woman with a secret power to raise the dead. 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, praised the book as "dripping with dark opulence and sizzling intrigue," stating that Hannah Whitten is a force to be reckoned with. Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows, described the book as "darkly sumptuous and beautifully dangerous," adding that it "wraps you up in its darkly sumptuous and beautifully dangerous world."

With its captivating characters, intricate plot, and stunning prose, The Foxglove King is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy and romance. Hannah Whitten has proven herself to be a talented author with a unique voice in the genre, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.
