17yo Myra can alter people's bodies through her magical ability as a portrait artist. But in a world where Prodigies that possess this gift are kidnapped, blackmailed, and even killed, Myra takes a big risk when the Governor's wife hires Myra to paint the most challenging portrait of all - one that would bring the Governor's dead son back to life. After arriving at the mansion, she quickly discovers the death of the son was no accident, and there is now a murderer in the house set on exposing her secret, getting revenge, and ridding the world of all other prodigies.
With characters steeping with mystery, and a stunning twist that will leave you speechless, this Dorian-Gray-Meets-Clue murder mystery will leave you re-reading and wanting more. I loved this book and could hardly put it down! While the story is fast paced and intriguing, it’s also easily digestible. The characters are well developed and the world building is done early on and effectively. For fans of the Hunger Games, Matched and Selection series, this fantasy-romance-thriller is sure to become a cult classic.
