Wisteria

Blythe Hawthorne has ruined Fate's plan to marry her cousin Signa. The price is steep: Blythe is now bound to marry the immortal herself. Neither of them wants the match, and both take it out on each other.

The two share Wisteria Gardens, Fate's palace, and each sets about making the other's days as difficult as possible. Blythe refuses to be a prisoner there. She builds a life on her own terms, and in doing so she turns up a mystery that ties together magic, reincarnation and Fate's own past.

As the mystery deepens, an unexpected spark appears between the two rivals. Blythe has to decide whether it is worth embracing.

This is a gothic young adult fantasy romance. The romance is enemies-to-lovers, built on sharp banter and forced proximity, and it burns slowly. A magical murder-mystery thread runs alongside it. The ending is bittersweet and settles the story.

Wisteria is the third and final book in the Belladonna trilogy, after Belladonna and Foxglove, and it is best read after them. It was first published in August 2024 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
