This lavish and decadent sapphic friends-to-lovers romantasy will leave fans of Moulin Rouge and Divine Rivals utterly enchanted!
âA romantic and thrilling story of ambition, magic, and peril.ââPublishers Weekly, Starred Review
After running away from home, Sybil Clarion is eager to embrace all the freedom the Belle Ăpoque city of Severon has to offer. Instead, sheâs traded high-society soirĂ©es for empty pockets. At least she has Esme, the girl who offered Sybil a home, and if either of them dared, something more.
While Esme would rather spend the night tinkering with her clocks and snuggling her cats, Sybil craves excitement and needs money. She plans to get both by stealing the rare posters that crop up around town. But when sheâs caught selling a poster by none other than its subject, Maeve, the glamorous girl invites Sybil and Esme to The Absinthe Underground, the exclusive club she co-owns, and reveals herself to be a Green Faerie, trapped in this world.
Maeve wants to hire thieves for a daring heist in Fae and is willing to pay enough that Sybil and Esme never have to worry about money again. Itâs too good of an offer to pass up, even if Maeveâs tragic story doesnât quite add up, and the secrets could jeopardize everything the girls have so carefully built.
Jamie Pacton, author of The Vermilion Emporium, dazzles in this whimsical and daring romantic fantasy. Fans of Fae lore, slow-burn sapphic pining, and decadently magical worlds will find The Absinthe Underground as ensorcelling as a fairy delight.
