The brilliant death / Amy Rose Capetta.
A young shapeshifter has to learn to control her powers, while simultaneously using them to disguise herself as a boy and confront the people who murdered her father.
Everyone in Vinalia knows that magic isn't real... but Teodora has the power to turn her family's enemies into music boxes and other decorative objects. When the Capo, the land's new ruler, sends poisoned letters to the heads of the Five Families that have long controlled Vinalia, Teo must travel to the capital as a DiSangro son-- not disguised as a boy, but transformed into one-- to save her father's life. She meets Cielo, a strega who can switch back and forth between male and female effortlessly. Journeying to the capital, Teo struggles to master her powers-- and to keep her growing feelings for Cielo locked in her heart. -- adapted from jacket

Teodora di Sangro is used to hiding her magical ability to transform enemies into music boxes and mirrors. Nobody knows sheâs a stregaâand she aims to keep it that way.
The she meets Cieloâand everything changes.
A strega who can switch outward form as effortlessly as turning a page in a book, Cielo shows Teodora what her life could be like if she masters the power sheâs been keeping secret. And not a moment too soon:Â the ruler of Vinalia has poisoned the patriarchs of the countryâs five controlling families, including Teodoraâs father, and demands that each family send a son to the palace.
If she wants to save her family, Teodora must travel to the capitalânot disguised as a boy, but transformed into one. But the road to the capital, and to bridling her powers, is full of enemies and complications, including the one she least expects: falling in love.
