The Black Key

For too long, Violet and the people of the outer circles of the Lone City have lived in service of the royalty of the Jewel. But now, the secret society known as the Black Key is preparing to seize power.

While Violet knows she is at the center of this rebellion, she has a more personal stake in it—for her sister, Hazel, has been taken by the Duchess of the Lake. Now, after fighting so hard to escape the Jewel, Violet must do everything in her power to return not only to save Hazel, but the future of the Lone City.

With its taut, provocative plot and irresistible characters, The Jewel had me tearing through pages right up to the final startling twist. I need the next book now!

— Andrea Cremer, international bestselling author of the Nightshade series
