An intoxicating mix of magic and the machinations of the rich and powerful and a compulsive, bingeable read for readers who love Krystal Sutherland and Karen McManus.

Sometimes you’ve got to kill a dream to escape a nightmare.

Eighteen-year-old Nora Blake is the opposite of lucky. She’s still wrangling her dead dad’s debts when a mysterious illness lands her brother in hospital. But her fortunes take an unexpected turn when she wins a lottery to attend the exclusive magical Dream Gala with the charming – and very off limits – heir to the Lamour fortune, Remy Lamour. If Nora can win him over, she’ll get a coveted spot on the Lamours’ magical training program – and the money she needs to save her brother.

There’s just one problem: Nora never bought a lottery ticket.

Determined to discover who wants her at the Gala – and why – Nora plunges headfirst into magical high society. Caught up in an intoxicating world of beautiful billionaires and charismatic celebrities, Nora is soon in over her head. When her search for answers uncovers a sinister conspiracy, will Nora stay silent or risk the wrath of a family powerful enough to get away with murder?

'Full of sharp, inventive magic, deliciously unreliable characters, and pulse-pounding conspiracies, this left me breathless. A lavish, seductive fantasy that will keep you guessing at every turn.' Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of Curious Tides
