Houston – It’s a tantalizing book, brimming with dark academia, forbidden romance, ballgowns, and magical tiaras.
‘House of Marionne’ is the first novel in New York Best Selling Author J. Elle’s new literary fantasy series that is being translated into nine languages across five continents. The book follows a 17-year-old Quell girl hunted by an assassin because of the deadly magical powers she holds. To protect her and her mother’s lives, Quell reluctantly joins a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order, which she never knew existed.
In the book, Elle takes you into a modern-day magical world of social elites that are reminiscent of the power structure reflected in society. And a tugging will they/ won’t they romance with a shocking twist between the main characters Quell and Jordan that will keep you in suspense for the second book.
Fantasy fans will be instantly entranced by the dark, glamorous world Elle has created. One that combines ancestral power with glittering ballgowns and a prestigious school with magical tiaras.
