Description
Darkly romantic and entirely enchanting, this reimagining of The Nutcracker from New York Times bestselling author Claire Legrand brims with magic, love, and intrigue—and “includes a Victorian mob princess/warrior heroine, an alternate New York City, steampunk faeries, and an epic multigenerational battle” (Kirkus Reviews). After her mother is brutally murdered, seventeen-year-old Clara Stole is determined to find out what happened to her.
