The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten In this lush, romantic epic fantasy series from a New York Times bestselling author, a young womans secret power to raise the dead plunges her into the dangerous and glamorous world of the Sainted Kings royal court. When Lore was thirteen, she escaped a cult in the catacombs beneath the city of Dellaire. And in the ten years since, shes lived by one rule: dont let them find you. Easier said than done, when her death magic ties her to the city. Mortem, the magic born from death, is a high-priced and illicit commodity in Dellaire, and Lores job running poisons keeps her in food, shelter, and relative security. But when a run goes wrong and Lores power is revealed, shes taken by the Presque Mort, a group of warrior-monks sanctioned to use Mortem working for the Sainted King. Lore fully expects a pyre, 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 whats happening and who in the Kings court is responsible, or die. Lore is thrust into the Sainted Kings glittering court, where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted. Guarded by Gabriel, a duke-turned-monk, and continually running up against Bastian, Augusts neer-do-well heir, Lore tangles in politics, religion, and forbidden romance as she attempts to navigate a debauched and opulent society. But the life she left behind in the catacombs is catching up with her. And even as Lore makes her way through the Sainted court above, they might be drawing closer than she thinks.
