More about the book
“Lush. Delicious. Bewildering. And darkly magical.” —Evelyn Skye. “Wicked Like a Wildfire was like devouring a succulent fairy fruit—it will rob your time, settle into your dreams, and leave you starving for more.” —Roshani Chokshi. Fans of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo will be captivated by this debut YA fantasy novel about a bargain that binds twin sisters’ fates and hearts to a powerful force. Iris and Malina possess unique magical abilities, or “gleam,” allowing them to manipulate beauty. Iris perceives flowers as fractals, transforming her visions into glasswork, while Malina interprets moods through music. Their mother enforces strict rules to keep their gifts hidden, even in their isolated seaside town. Sharing their magic is forbidden, as is falling in love. However, when their mother is mysteriously attacked, the sisters must uncover the truth behind the sheltered life she has created. They will confront a wicked curse haunting their family line, questioning whether the magic that unites them is also destined to tear them apart. This enchanting tale is the first in a two-book series, leaving readers eagerly awaiting the sequel.
