Every citizen of England is entitled to a deal from the immortal queen of the fantastical. Society girls are expected to make deals for traits that will earn them suitors: a rare ability at the piano in exchange for their happiest childhood memory. A perfect smile for their ability to taste.

However, the first season of Ivy Benton arrives with a shocking twist: a competition to win the heart of the queen's son in the true fantastical, Prince Bram. A prize that could save Ivy's family from ruin... and free her sister from the deal that has destroyed her.

But every brilliant deal aimed at the fantastical worlds has a rotten heart, and at the center of this competition lies a dark scheme that could ruin everything.

Heartrendingly romantic and deceptively enchanting, this alternative story will captivate readers of Lauren Roberts, Stephanie Garber, and Sarah J. Maas.
