For fans of Caraval and The Night Circus , this decadent and darkly enchanting YA fantasy, set against the backdrop of a Belle Époque-inspired hotel, follows seventeen-year-old Jani as she uncovers the deeply disturbing secrets of the legendary Hotel Magnifique.
To succeed, she\'ll have to risk everything she loves, but failure would mean a fate far worse than never returning home..
With the vexingly handsome doorman, Bel, as her only ally, Jani embarks on a mission to unravel the mystery of the magic at the heart of the Hotel and free Zosa--and the other staff--from the cruelty of the ruthless maître d\'hôtel.
But once inside, Jani quickly discovers their contracts are unbreakable and that beneath the marvelous glamour, the Hotel is hiding dangerous secrets.
While Jani and Zosa can\'t afford the exorbitant costs of a guest\'s stay, they can interview to join the staff, and are soon whisked away on the greatest adventure of their lives.
The Hotel is legendary not only for its whimsical enchantments, but also for its ability to travel--appearing in a different destination every morning.
That is, until the Hotel Magnifique comes to town.
Just barely scraping by with her job at a tannery, she\'s resigned to a dreary life in the port town of Durc, caring for her younger sister, Zosa.
All her life, Jani has dreamed of Elsewhere.
