From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes
a sweeping romance with a dash of magic.
They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail's most notable socialites, and this
spring is Nina's chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her
well-connected cousin and his calculating wife. But the Grand Season has
just begun, and already Nina's debut has gone disastrously awry. She has
always struggled to control her telekinesis--neighbors call her the
Witch of Oldhouse--and the haphazard manifestations of her powers make
her the subject of malicious gossip.
When entertainer Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. A
telekinetic like her, he has traveled the world performing his talents
for admiring audiences. He sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with
potential to master her power under his tutelage. With Hector's help,
Nina's talent blossoms, as does her love for him.
But great romances are for fairytales, and Hector is hiding a truth from
Nina -- and himself--that threatens to end their courtship before it
truly begins.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia's The Beautiful Ones is a charming tale of love
and betrayal, and the struggle between conformity and passion, set in a
world where scandal is a razor-sharp weapon.
