A stolen magical gem transforms an orphan's destiny. A stunning and completely unputdownable romantasy novel set in an alternative historical Paris, The Kiss of the Nightingale weaves together the seduction of Bridgerton and the magic of Raven Kennedy's Gild.

1890, Lutece: In this city, Talents are precious gems that gift unrivalled skills to their owners. The most coveted, Elite Talents, are claimed by the aristocracy, passed through generations by blood magic.

Cleodora dreamed of inheriting her father's Tailoring Talent, but when he died, the magic died with him. Now she's left with empty promises, a dress shop she can't keep afloat, and her bed-ridden younger sister.

But everything changes when she meets the dark-eyed Lady Dahlia Sibille, who offers Cleodora a Singing Talent - a chance to save her sister and rewrite her own fate. There's just one catch: she needs to steal an Elite Talent from the prestigious Lenoir family.

As Lutece's nightingale, Cleodora is the star of the opera's galas and balls, worlds away from the darkness of home. But the handsome yet infuriating Vicomte Lenoir is nothing like she expected. Torn between Dahlia, who gave her everything, and the Vicomte, who holds the price of her freedom, is Cleodora in danger of losing it all?
