The Fading Dusk by
Melissa Giorgio
(Smoke and Mirrors #1)
Publication date: July 2015
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Cover by: Mae I Design
Synopsis:
In
the gritty city of Dusk, seventeen-year-old Irina makes her living as the
street magician Bantheir’s assistant. The job isn’t glamorous, but she loves
the crowds, the shows, and most of all, the illusion of magic. But Irina’s
world is shattered the night she is arrested and charged as Bantheir’s
accomplice to murder—murder by magic.
Real
magic, the kind that’s been forbidden since the old wars.
Irina
finds the idea of flashy showman Bantheir using actual magic to kill someone
laughable, but she’s the only one who sees how ridiculous the claim is. But how
can she convince everyone Bantheir is innocent when they’ve already made up
their minds? Desperate, Irina must decide who she can trust to help her win her
freedom. Is the surly, handsome Captain Leonid telling the truth when he says
he believes Irina is innocent, or is he just using her to get to Bantheir? What
about Aden, the sweet soldier and longtime fan of Irina’s who claims he’s on
her side?
Irina
said she wanted to know the truth, but when she stumbles across a dark secret
that changes everything, will she be strong enough to survive?
