Thus begins the story of Icarus and Velvet.
This is a love story, modelled on Romeo and Juliet but set in a landscape vastly different from any we have encountered.

Teenagers will love the fiesty Velvet and fall in love with Icarus and his world.
Perfect for fans of Holly Black, Leigh Bardugo and Suzanne Collins.
