Muse

By Brittany Cavallaro

Book Overview

American
Royals meets The Winner's Curse in
the first book of a dazzling duology from New York Times bestselling
author Brittany Cavallaro about revolution, love, and friendship in a
reimagined American monarchy.

The year is 1893, and war is brewing in
the First American Kingdom. But Claire Emerson has a bigger problem. Claire's father
is a sought-after inventor, but he believes his genius is a gift granted to him
by his daughter's touch, so he keeps Claire under his control.
As their province
prepares for war, Claire plans to escape, even as her best friend, Beatrix,
tries to convince her to stay and help with the growing resistance movement
that wants to see a woman on the throne.

When her father's weapon fails to fire on the
World's Fair's opening day, Claire is taken captive by Governor Remy Duchamp,
St. Cloud's young, untried ruler. Remy believes that Claire's touch bestows
graces he's never had, and with political rivals planning his demise, Claire
might be his only ally.
The last thing that Claire has ever wanted is to be someone
else's muse, but she finally has a choice: Will she quietly remake her world
from the shadows--or bring it down in flames?
