Stolen magic. Two loves. A sister's fate. Let the curtains rise . . .

1890, Lutèce. In this city, Talents are everything: precious gems that gift unrivalled skills to their owners. The most coveted, Elite Talents, are claimed by the aristocracy, passed down by blood magic.

Cleodora dreamed of inheriting her father's Tailoring Talent, but when he died, the magic died with him. Now she's left with empty promises, a dress shop she can't keep afloat and her bedridden younger sister.

But everything changes when she meets the dark-eyed Lady Dahlia Sibille. From the first instant, Cleodora is bewitched . . . When Dahlia offers her a Singing Talent, Cleodora seizes a chance to become the city's nightingale, save her beloved sister and rewrite her own fate.

There's just one catch: she needs to steal an Elite Talent from the prestigious Lenoir family. But the handsome yet infuriating Vicomte Lenoir is nothing like she expected. Soon, his teasing smiles win her over, even as Dahlia's seductive whispers linger in her ears.

Torn between the two, with her freedom slipping even as her opera star soars, is Cleodora in danger of losing it all?

The Kiss of the Nightingale is a stunning and utterly transportive New Adult crossover fantasy romance that weaves together the seduction of Bridgerton and the passion of The Phantom of the Opera . 'Set in a glittering city with a sinister underbelly, The Kiss of the Nightingale is a lush, atmospheric , and wholly original story about music, magic, dangerous attraction and betrayal. A true showstopper of a debut '
