Waiting on Wednesday (143) Glitter by Aprilynne Pike
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
Outside the palace of
Versailles, it’s modern day. Inside, the people dress, eat, and act
like it’s the eighteenth century—with the added bonus of technology to
make court life lavish, privileged, and frivolous. The palace has every
indulgence, but for one pretty young thing, it’s about to become a very
beautiful prison.
When Danica witnesses an act of murder by the
young king, her mother makes a cruel power play . . . blackmailing the
king into making Dani his queen. When she turns eighteen, Dani will
marry the most ruthless and dangerous man of the court. She has six
months to escape her terrifying destiny. Six months to raise enough
money to disappear into the real world beyond the palace gates.
Her
ticket out? Glitter. A drug so powerful that a tiny pinch mixed into a
pot of rouge or lip gloss can make the wearer hopelessly addicted.
Addicted to a drug Dani can sell for more money than she ever dreamed.
But
in Versailles, secrets are impossible to keep. And the most dangerous
secret—falling for a drug dealer outside the palace walls—is one risk
she has to take.
