The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
It is expected to release on January 15, 2019, by Wednesday Books.
OMG! I cannot wait for this! I love historical fiction but with Roshani’s writing. Yes, please. I cannot wait to see how the story folds out. And it’s set in Paris?! Double Yes. I’m not 100% if this is historical fiction AND fantasy? Please do let me know.
I adore this cover. I honestly can say this will make my favorite covers of 2019 for real. It’s so beautiful. I love how the words are in and out with the leaves and the golden gate. Don’t get me started on the typography. I love it! I cannot wait to see the finished copy!
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, Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.
To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin 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.
