The Notorious Virtues by Alwyn Hamilton is a dazzling fantasy thriller filled with power, secrets, and magic—perfect for fans of glamorous intrigue and fierce competition.

Sixteen-year-old Honora “Nora” Holtzfall is the daughter of the wealthiest and most powerful woman in Walstad. Her family controls the country’s magic and its money, and Nora is always in the spotlight. But she’s never truly felt like she belongs. Everything changes when her mother is found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Suddenly, the family’s power and fortune are up for grabs. To claim her place, Nora must compete in the Veritaz—a dangerous magical contest that decides who will become the next heir. Just when she thinks things can’t get more complicated, a surprise contender arrives: Lotte, the secret daughter of Nora’s aunt. Raised in a convent and unaware of her true heritage, Lotte is thrown into a world of riches, rivals, and deadly family politics.

As tensions rise, Nora discovers her mother’s death was no accident—it was murder. The only person who might help her uncover the truth? A sharp-tongued reporter who hates everything her family stands for.

As the Veritaz grows more brutal and rebellion simmers across the country, both girls must navigate a world of betrayal, politics, and danger. Only one can win—but first, they’ll have to survive.

This intense and fast-paced fantasy from Alwyn Hamilton, bestselling author of Rebel of the Sands, is packed with mystery, drama, and unforgettable heroines.
