She's a deadly poisoner. He's a bastard prince. They are sworn enemies...
Addie Thorley spent her childhood in the wilds of Utah, playing soccer, riding horses, and scribbling stories. After graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in journalism, she decided "hard news" didn't contain enough magic and kissing, so she flung herself into the land of fiction and never looked back. She now lives in Princeton, New Jersey with her husband, daughter, and wolf dog. An Affair of Poisons is her debut novel.
* "This debut novelist manages to set the tone, introduce the
characters, and kill the King of France all in the first chapter...
[A] fast-paced and refreshing page-turner."
- School Library Journal, starred review "An Affair of Poisons is
beautifully written; like one of Mirabelle's potions, it's the
perfect blend of history and dark fantasy, with a tasteful splash
of blood, a simmering romance, and an ending that leaves you
wanting more." - Mary Taranta, author of Shimmer and Burn
"A rich immersion into a dangerous, alternative world of
seventeenth century France... Thrilling, romantic, and addictive."
- Rosalyn Eaves, author of the Blood Rose Rebellion trilogy "An
indulgent and exhilarating adventure, Thorley takes an extravagant
historical setting and infuses it with a lusciously dark dose of
magic and alchemy. An Affair of Poisons takes hold of the reader
immediately and refuses to let go. The only cure is to finish it."
- Lyndsay Ely, author of Gunslinger Girl "A stunning, immersive
adventure, filled with magic, self-discovery and sumptuous period
detail. I fell in love with An Affair of Poisons!" - Lee Kelly, A
Criminal Magic
