The Rose Bargain

Smith's YA fantasy centres on a bargain from the fae queen to secure a high society girl for her son. Every citizen of England is granted one bargain from their immortal fae queen. High society girls are expected to bargain for qualities that will win them suitors: a rare talent for piano in exchange for one’s happiest childhood memory. A perfect smile for one’s ability to taste.

Ivy Benton’s debut season arrives with a competition to secure the heart of the Queen’s fae son, Prince Bram. A prize that could save Ivy’s family from ruin and free her sister from the bargain that destroyed her. At the centre of this contest is a plot that could destroy everything.
