A talented heretic must decide between the pursuit of forbidden magic, or the ecstasy of forbidden love—either way, her choice will upend the world, in the start of a sweeping, romantic epic fantasy trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Tessa Gratton.

Can an empire trip and fall on a mere strand of silk? 

Iriset is a prodigy and an outlaw. The daughter of a powerful criminal, she dons her alter ego Silk to create magical disguises for those in her father’s organization, but she longs to do more with her talent: to enhance what it means to be human by giving people wings, night-sight, and other abilities; to unlock the possibilities of gender and parenthood; to cure disease and even to end mortality itself.
 
Everything changes when her father is captured and sentenced to death. To save him, Iriset must infiltrate the palace and the empire’s fanatical ruling family. There, she realizes she has a chance—and an obligation—to bring down the entire corrupt system. She’ll have to entangle herself in the lives of the emperor and his sister, getting them to trust and even to love her. But love is a two-way street, and Iriset’s own heart holds the most mysterious and impenetrable magic of all.

  • Praise for Tessa Gratton: 

    "Gratton takes Shakespeare to the sharpest, darkest, and most beautiful edge, perhaps where it should've existed all along.” —Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times Bestselling author of The Belles, on The Queens of Innis Lear

    “I adore this—rich, epic, blood-soaked—a glorious and grand sweeping fantasy.” /I>Kate Elliott, author of Unconquerable Sun, on The Queens of Innis Lear

    "The Queens of Innis Lear is a spectacular book. This is a story about family and love, jealousy and destiny, with its roots in the earth and stretching to the stars. Beautifully written, it's full of complex characters who will break your heart and heal it again. An instant favorite, this is a book I'll return to again and again." —Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians

    “The wondrous worldbuilding, strong female leads, and plot filled with regicide, regrets, prophecies, and magic create an intricate and layered story of honor, family, and love." 
    Library Journal  on Lady Hotspur (starred review) “Thrilling, heartwarming, and original, Lady Hotspur is a glorious epic.” —Karen Lord, author of Redemption in Indigo
