Summary
Tor is reissuing The Beautiful Ones, one of PW's Top 10 Books of Fall 2017, by bestselling author Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Enter a sweeping fantasy world of etiquette and first love, inspired by the belle e'poque. Antonina "Nina" Beaulieu leaves her small country home for the glittering city of Loisail for her first Grand Season, where she will attend balls and mingle among high society. Under the tutelage of her cousin's wife, the beautiful but cold Vale'rie Beaulieu, she hopes to find a suitable husband. Unfortunately, the haphazard manifestations of Nina's telekinetic powers make her the subject of malicious gossip, and she is quickly ostracized by her peers. When the dazzling telekinetic performer and outsider Hector Auvray meets Nina, he sees her potential and teaches her how to harness her gifts. As they spend more and more time together, Nina falls deeply in love and believes she's found the great romance of which she's always dreamt. But it is soon revealed that Hector's courtship of Nina is not truly what it seems... A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books
