G. Parry.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn an alternate London alive with botanical magic, Elswyth Elderwood is a thorn among roses: a bristly, scarred scholar in a world of socialites. Her sister Persephone is the opposite: a graceful debutante seeking a marriage that will save their family from ruin. At least, until Persephone is murdered.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSuddenly the last scion of her house, Elswyth must abandon her studies and find a wealthy husband. She is thrust into a London fueled by floromancy: hedge witches sprout nightshade from their fingertips, high-born ladies weave gowns from wildflowers … and a serial killer called the Reaper transforms his victims into plant-human hybrids.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen clues suggest the Reaper is a powerful nobleman, Elswyth's search for her sister's killer and her hunt for a husband become one and the same. But she is drawn to bastard-born archaeologist Silas Blackthorn—who may have dark, twisted secrets of his own.   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eElswyth must determine friend from foe and lover from liar—or suffer the same fate as her sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Thomas+Kent+West\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eThomas Kent West\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thomas Kent West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617290666147,"sku":"9781538776162","price":385.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/9781538776162_b76aa028-5808-4ba8-a721-74ebbcf8f142.jpg?v=1777628092","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781538776162","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
