About this ebook
'Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Her genres are ever changing, her ability to take on a wild story each time is incredible' TAYLOR JENKINS-REID, author of Daisy Jones and the Six
The Grand Season has just begun and already Nina's debut among Loisail's most notable socialites has gone disastrously awry.
Nina has always struggled to control her gift of telekinesis, which has earnt her the nickname the Witch of Oldhouse. When Hector Auvray, the renowned entertainer, arrives in town, Nina is dazzled. He too has a telekinetic talent and sees her not as a witch, but ripe with magical potential.
Under his tutelage, Nina's talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairy-tales, and Hector is hiding a secret bitter truth from Nina - and himself - that threatens their courtship.
The Beautiful Ones is a sweeping tale of love and betrayal and the struggle between conformity and passion.
