"Sensuous and enthralling, Immortal Rose blooms. This is the magical Bridgerton I've been waiting for with a vibrant heroine, an exceptional world, and my favorite kind of love story - a dangerous one." - Victoria Aveyard, author of the Red Queen
Viola Lockwood is the illegitimate heir of the Rosebournes - a family with the ancient gift of infusing perfume with magic capable of manipulating mind, body and emotion.
When a shocking murder attempt leaves the kingdom vulnerable to a coup, Viola reluctantly strikes a bargain with the royal spymaster, Hugh Thronton. In exchange for crafting Immortal Rose - the singular perfume capable of saving the king's life - she can reclaim the legacy that should have been hers.
As Hugh and Viola race to find the perfume's ingredients, neither can deny the scorching attraction building between them. But a terrible truth lurks in the kingdom's dark underbelly, and not even the strongest perfume can mask the scent of evil lurking out of sight.
