All We Hunger For

This limited deluxe edition is printed with stenciled edges and ed endpapers ! As rebellion brews in the streets of Anespérer, a young woman from the slums infiltrates a magical baking competition that will determine the kingdom‘s next ruler-and finds herself torn between an alluring aristocrat and the revolution that could change everything. "Anna Mercier‘s debut is your next obsession." -Emily J. Taylor, New York Times-bestselling author of Hotel Magnifique In Anespérer, where magic comes alive through artistic skill, Elara Rousseau knows she‘ll never be selected for the Objet d‘Art. The high-stakes baking competition will elect a new Souverain to join the ruling council, and someone from the slums would never be considered. But when a brooding figure from her past sneaks her into the Objet, Elara has the chance to compete for a better future... as long as no one uncovers her traitorous secret. Nikolas Dupont will do whatever it takes to impress his powerful father, a Souverain who hasn‘t officially recognized his son-like handpick a contestant to win and become his father‘s political pawn. But Elara is more than he bargained for, and she ignites his own subdued passions. Against all odds, Elara excels and becomes a hero to the city‘s poor, all while Nik‘s faith in his father crumbles and the sparks between them burn brighter. As the competition heats up, Elara and Nik must choose: fight to win the competition and secure a future of safety for them both, or use the power of Elara‘s art to spark a revolution.
