From Alexandra Bracken, the New York Times bestselling author of Lore, comes a stunningly original romantasy. Set in a sumptuous world ruled by magical perfume, this achingly romantic, slow-burn love story will shatter your heart and leave you breathless.

Immortal Rose is now a Sunday Times Bestseller!

"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 favourite 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.

"Alexandra Bracken weaves a world as alluring as the rarest perfume, pairing unique magic with a deliciously slow-burn romance that left me breathless." - Danielle L. Jenson, author of A Fate Inked in Blood

"Effervescent, glittering, and utterly captivating, I cannot wait for more!" - Kaylie Smith, author of Phantasma
