A Forgery of Roses: Tiktok made me buy it! The new spellbinding YA gothic fantasy – full of magic, romance and mystery
Author: Jessica S. Olson
From the author of Sing Me Forgotten comes a lush new fantasy novel with art-based magic, romance, and murder...
Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she's a portrait artist whose paintings alter people's bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night, the governor's wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son.
Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy's death was no accident. A killer stalks these halls--one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor's older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer's next victim.
"A heady blend of the fantastical, the murderous, and the romantic." --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review__

We’re unable to accept returns for the usual signs of age such as cracked spines, yellowing pages, library notes, or cover variations, as these quirks are part of a book’s well-loved history.
