Our August theme is . . . HIDDEN MAGIC!
If you look around, you’ll find magic hidden in the most unexpected of places.
Our featured book this month is a YA fantasy – the first in an exciting new series! In a world where magic is forbidden and a mysterious plague is spreading across the land, a young woman is struggling to hide her powers. But when she gets caught up with a secret magical organisation, she has no choice but to embrace her powers and restore peace to the realm. We loved this story full of sweeping romance and lush, complex worldbuilding.

- Exclusive hardback edition of the UK paperback
- Full colour printing on the hardback (by @kira_yukishiro_)
