{"product_id":"city-of-iron-and-ivy","title":"City of Iron and Ivy by Thomas Kent West","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beguiling historical romantasy debut blends dark academia with the glamour of Bridgerton, as a scholar of magic investigates her sister's murder--perfect for fans of Heather Fawcett and H. G. Parry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElswyth must determine friend from foe and lover from liar--or suffer the same fate as her sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nBuy the ebook at Bookshop.org:\n\u003cscript src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\" data-type=\"book_button\" data-affiliate-id=\"122436\" data-sku=\"9781538776179\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\nBuy the audiobook at Libro.fm:\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/libro.fm\/audiobooks\/9781668654323-city-of-iron-and-ivy?bookstore=storiedbookeryandgifts\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.libro.fm\/assets\/website-images\/button-buy-on-audiobook.svg\" alt=\"Buy on Libro.fm\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47362880766101,"sku":"9781538776162","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/3424\/8085\/files\/bloodoverbrighthaven_800x800px_-2026-05-22T153920.907_d0b3645d-8e96-4fa7-817f-add7821afbff.png?v=1779482488","url":"https:\/\/storiedbookery.com\/products\/city-of-iron-and-ivy","provider":"Storied Bookery \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
