For fans of Lauren Kate and Libba Bray, The Sweetest
Dark is filled with thrilling romance, exciting
adventure, and ancient magic. Shana Abé brilliantly captures
the drama of post-Victorian England, while unfolding a
passionate love story that defies time. “With every fiber of my being, I
yearned to be normal. To glide through my days at Iverson
without incident. But I’d have to face the fact that my life
was about to unfold in a very, very different way than I’d
ever envisioned. Normal would become forever out of
reach.” Lora Jones has always
known that she’s different. On the outside, she appears to
be an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl. Yet Lora’s been
keeping a heartful of secrets: She hears songs that no one
else can hear, dreams vividly of smoke and flight, and lives
with a mysterious voice inside her that insists she’s far
more than what she seems.
England, 1915.
Raised in an orphanage in a rough corner of London, Lora
quickly learns to hide her unique abilities and avoid
attention. Then, much to her surprise, she is selected as
the new charity student at Iverson, an elite boarding school
on England’s southern coast. Iverson’s eerie, gothic castle
is like nothing Lora has ever seen. And the two boys she
meets there will open her eyes and forever change her
destiny.
Jesse is the school’s
groundskeeper—a beautiful boy who recognizes Lora for who
and what she truly is. Armand is a darkly handsome and
arrogant aristocrat who harbors a few closely guarded
secrets of his own. Both hold the answers to her past. One
is the key to her future. And both will aim to win her
heart. As danger descends upon Iverson, Lora must harness
the powers she’s only just begun to understand, or else lose
everything she dearly loves.
Filled with lush
atmosphere, thrilling romance, and ancient magic, The
Sweetest Dark brilliantly captures a rich historical era
while unfolding an enchanting love story that defies time.
