"Lush. Delicious. Bewildering. And darkly magical. Popovic has created
a world that you tumble into from the very first words and wish you
could stay in forever." --Evelyn Skye, author of The Crown's Game
"Wicked Like a Wildfire was like devouring a succulent fairy
fruit--it will rob your time, settle into your dreams, and leave you
starving for more." --Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling
author of The Star-Touched Queen
Fans of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo will be bewitched by Lana
Popovic's debut YA fantasy novel about a bargain that binds the
fates--and hearts--of twin sisters to a force larger than life.
All the women in Iris and Malina's family have the unique magical
ability or "gleam" to manipulate beauty. Iris sees flowers as fractals
and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, while Malina
interprets moods as music. But their mother has strict rules to keep
their gifts a secret, even in their secluded sea-side town. Iris and
Malina are not allowed to share their magic with anyone, and above all,
they are forbidden from falling in love.
But when their mother is mysteriously attacked, the sisters will have to
unearth the truth behind the quiet lives their mother has built for
them. They will discover a wicked curse that haunts their family
line--but will they find that the very magic that bonds them together is
destined to tear them apart forever?
Wicked Like a Wildfire is the first in a two-book series. Readers will
be rapt with anticipation for the sequel.
