A curse can be many things. For the Everlys, it begins with stardust.

Violet Everly is the last of her line. For centuries, her family has seen their best and brightest taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Violet has ten years to find her mother, Marianne, the latest victim of the curse. If she fails, she will take Marianne's place.

As her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods, and monsters bent on revenge, time starts to run out. Violet will have to travel to the edges of the world to find Marianne and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly story began.

Slip into a lush world of magic, stardust, and monsters in this spellbinding standalone fantasy from debut author Georgia Summers.
