The Beautiful Ones

From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a sweeping romance with a dash of magic.

Nina has always lived on the edges of Loisail’s glittering society—partly because she’s new to the city, mostly because her telekinesis tends to burst out at exactly the wrong moment. Her cousin and his elegant, strategic wife try to guide her through the Grand Season, but one disastrous debut is all it takes for whispers of “Witch of Oldhouse” to spread like perfume through a ballroom.

Then Hector Auvray arrives. A famed performer and a telekinetic like her, he looks at Nina and sees not a scandal, but promise—someone who could truly grow into her power. Under his patient tutoring, she begins to believe that maybe her heart and her gift can coexist. And maybe, impossibly, he could love her back.

But fairy-tale romances aren’t built on half-truths, and Hector carries a secret that tilts their fragile bond toward heartbreak.

The Beautiful Ones unfolds with elegance and quiet heartbreak—a story about love, envy, and the cost of fitting into a world that cuts with its gossip as sharply as glass.
