When the Order of Babel seek out treasure-hunter and hotelier Sâeverin Montagnet-Alarie to find an ancient artifact, Sâeverin calls on an unlikely band of experts to help him. - Baker & Taylor
Set in a darkly glamorous world The Gilded Wolves is full of mystery, decadence and dangerous but thrilling adventure. Paris, 1889: The world is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, Sâeverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, Sâeverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Sâeverin will need help from a band of experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian who can't yet go home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in all but blood, who might care too much. Together, they'll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive. - Baker & Taylor
Keeping close secrets in the wake of the Exposition Universelle in 1889 Paris, a wealthy hotelier and treasure-hunter is tapped by a powerful order to lead an elite team on a quest to track down an ancient artifact of world-changing significance. By the best-selling author of The Star-Touched Queen. Simultaneous eBook. - McMillan Palgrave
*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
First in a âwildly inventive and wildly representativeâ (The New York Times Book Review) historical fantasy series, Roshani Chokshiâs The Gilded Wolves follows the exploits of a found familyâsix societal outcasts tasked with stealing a powerful artifact that can alter their lives for the better, but at the cost of breaking the world.
All eyes are on Paris where the Exposition Universelle World Fair is to be held. Hidden among the technological marvels and artistic creations on display is an item of unimaginable powerâa Babel fragment that would enable those who wield it with magical Forging abilities over natureâs elements.
Séverin Montagnet-Alarie's birthright was stolen from him. Now, to reclaim his rightful place among Franceâs elite, he must obtain the Babel fragment for the Order. It is a heist that will require the ingenuity and skills of those with nothing to lose and everything to gain: Enrique, a gifted historian and wordsmith, caught between two worlds; Zofia, a brilliant Forging artist and engineer, separated from her family; Hypnos, a rival aristocrat who needs an ally among the Order; Tristan, an extraordinary Forger raised at Séverinâs side, loyal to his adopted brotherâs quest; and Laila, the mysterious dancer and espionage artist who stole Séverinâs heart in a moment of vulnerability he couldnât afford.
But as the dangerous risks of their escapade surge, Séverin finds himself torn between his desire for revenge against all those who wronged him and the people heâs deliberately placing in harmâs wayâincluding the woman he loves and fears to loseâ¦
