of Gita Trelease (Goodreads Author)
Series: Enchantée #1
Description
Paris in 1789 is a labyrinth of twisted streets, filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionariesâand magicians...When smallpox kills her parents, Camille Durbonne must find a way to provide for her frail, naive sister while managing her volatile brother. Relying on petty magicâla magie ordinaireâCamille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy the food and medicine they need. But when the coins wonât hold their shape and her brother disappears with the familyâs savings, Camille must pursue a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.With dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into the âBaroness de la Fontaineâ and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for la magie. There, she gambles at cards, desperate to have enough to keep herself and her sister safe. Yet the longer she stays at court, the more difficult it becomes to reconcile her resentment of the nobles with the enchantments of Versailles. And when she returns to Paris, Camille meets a handsome young balloonistâwho dares her to hope that love and liberty may both be possible.But la magie has its costs. And when Camille loses control of her secrets, the game she's playing turns deadly. Then revolution erupts, and she must chooseâlove or loyalty, democracy or aristocracy, freedom or magicâbefore Paris burnsâŠ
