Synopsis
In a Gilded Age New York where magic runs through the veins of high society, a young woman wronged by the elite claws her way into their glittering world with one goal: vengeance. But revenge gets complicated when the enemy's world — and one man in particular — begins to pull her in. Lyssa Mia Smith serves up a lush fantasy of ballrooms, betrayal, and slow-burn romance.

Not scheduled this month
Each month, the Guild offers four books across different genres: two fiction and two non-fiction. Read any or all of the picks. Only this month’s selections have a four-week reading schedule.
Next month’s four books will be chosen at random from the other available titles, keeping the two-fiction, two-non-fiction balance. There is no fixed reading order or schedule for the remaining collection.
More books can be added to the website at any time. New additions can be selected before books already available in the library.
