The Kiss of the Nightingale BY Adi Denner

In The Kiss of the Nightingale, a captivating romantasy set in an alternate historical Paris, the year is 1890 and the city is alive with magic and intrigue. Cleodora, an orphaned young woman, dreams of inheriting her father's Tailoring Talent, a gift lost with his death, leaving her struggling to maintain her dress shop and care for her ailing sister. When she encounters the enigmatic Lady Dahlia Sibille, Cleodora is drawn into a world of possibility. Dahlia offers her a chance at a Singing Talent—an opportunity to save her sister and transform her fate—but it comes with a daunting challenge: she must steal an Elite Talent from the prestigious Lenoir family.

As Cleodora becomes Lutce's nightingale, enchanting audiences at lavish opera galas, she finds herself increasingly entangled in the glamorous yet dangerous elite society. The charming but infuriating Vicomte Lenoir complicates her mission; his teasing smiles and unexpected kindness make her question everything she thought she wanted. Torn between loyalty to Dahlia, who gave her this chance, and the growing connection with the Vicomte, Cleodora faces a pivotal choice. As the stakes rise, she must discover whether love, courage, and her own inner strength can eclipse the allure of magic. In this beautifully woven tale, Cleodora learns that true gifts come from the heart, and the most powerful magic may be the bonds we forge.
