The first in a sweeping queer fantasy duology set in a shimmering, New Orleans-inspired world.

In the glittering city of New Soleil, beauty masks danger at every turn. The Nightshades, a crew of magical outlaws, are no different. Their glamorous facades conceal the terror they strike into the hearts of the rich and powerful as they steal from the corrupt and fight for the forgotten.

Noa Toussaint fled her cossetted life as a Saint to join the Nightshades. Infatuated with their ferocious leader, Lennon, Noa aims to capture her heart and keep it. Her talent for alchemy is valuable, but her connection to her family puts all of the Shades in danger.

Now enemies are closer than Lennon knows and Noa must uncover the threat and keep them both alive. Because in a city where lies are lethal and magic is fading, secrets aren’t just costly—they’re deadly.

Critic reviews

"This story, which is a good hybrid of mystery and queer romance, stands out with its crew of femme fatales and sets the stage for a series full of magical intrigue." —School Library Journal

"Dark, seductive, and razor-sharp, Her Sharp Embrace is a story of queer desire, criminal devotion, and the terrible cost of choosing who gets to survive. Her Sharp Embrace asks how far love can bend before it becomes something monstrous. For readers who crave morally gray heroines, doomed romance, and power bought with blood, this is a story that does not flinch." —Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

"Her Sharp Embrace is an immersive, fast-paced blend of fantasy and mystery in the most entertaining of ways. Delightfully twisty, it features an intriguing, charismatic cast of characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat, eager to see where this story takes them." —Rachael Lippincott, New York Times bestselling author of She Gets the Girl

"Driven by fierce desires and unexpected betrayals, Koenig's Nightshades kept me guessing the entire way through. Vicious, riveting, and deliciously twisty." —Tori Bovalino, bestselling author of The Second Death of Locke
