For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels.

Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself.

Thomas wordlessly slips on a checkered flannel bathrobe from his closet, wrapping the ties around his waist. He hasn’t shaved today, and he seems tougher than he did at the party last night. More natural. More dangerous. I wait for him to continue scolding me. Instead, he sighs and collapses on his bed. He pats the empty spot next to him.

Our first appetizer, bacon-wrapped scallops, is set on the table. “But he must think more drainings will keep them down. The last thing we want is for these mystics to regenerate too quickly and overthrow us all with their weirdo magic. Plus, they’re thinking of lowering the required draining age from thirteen to ten.” “Ten? Isn’t that a bit young?”

I’m about to submit my hand to the scanner when my stomach lurches. This has got to be illegal. What if I get caught? Oh well, I think, here goes. I press my hand to the scanner and watch the laser read the prints on my gloves. A name pops up on the overhead screen— REBECCA GEMINI —and I am directed ahead to Terminal

That’s not how love works.” Thomas rolls back his shoulders in defeat. “What do I have to do to convince you that I’m telling the truth?” I think for a moment. “My letters.” “Huh?” Thomas says, confused. “Bring me the love letters I wrote you. I want to see them.” Thomas rubs his forehead. “Aria, what are you talking about?” “Love letters—I found

anyone who they say they are? Davida, Hunter, Thomas—now this? “Why should I trust you?” Elissa glances down at her watch. “Come. You’ll see.” She stands and goes to close the curtains. Then she motions for me to hide behind the set of curtains opposite the chair. We disappear just as Benedict enters the room. A high-pitched beep sounds as he opens the door, the latch clicking behind him. He must have just left my father’s emergency meeting. I peer through one of the slits, watching him take a
