Stolen magic. Two loves. A sister's fate. Let the curtains rise . . .

1890, Lutece. In this city, Talents are everything: precious gems that gift unrivalled skills to their owners. The most coveted, Elite Talents, are claimed by the aristocracy, passed down 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 bedridden younger sister.

But everything changes when she meets the dark-eyed Lady Dahlia Sibille. From the first instant, Cleodora is bewitched . . . When Dahlia offers her a Singing Talent, Cleodora seizes a chance to become the city's nightingale, save her beloved sister and rewrite her own fate.

There's just one catch: she needs to steal an Elite Talent from the prestigious Lenoir family. But the handsome yet infuriating Vicomte Lenoir is nothing like she expected. Soon, his teasing smiles win her over, even as Dahlia's seductive whispers linger in her ears.

Torn between the two, with her freedom slipping even as her opera star soars, is Cleodora in danger of losing it all?

The Kiss of the Nightingale is a stunning and utterly transportive fantasy romance that weaves together the seduction of Bridgerton and the passion of The Phantom of the Opera.

ADI DENNER was only 13 years old when the enchanted notes of Verdi's La Traviata stole her heart. Today, she is a professionally trained opera singer with a specialization in contemporary operas, and a librettist with an MA in opera writing. But having too much creative energy to be contained within a single discipline, Adi also discovered painting, sculpting, wood carving, knitting, theatre, 3D art, and her burning love for writing. Her books are heavily inspired by her constant aspiration to intertwine her passions and her firm belief that art is magic.

Reviews for The Kiss of the Nightingale

Lush and imaginative, Denner's The Kiss of the Nightingale will sweep you into an alternate Paris. A sumptuous mixture of magic, music, and love, the story is woven with vulnerable yet strong characters that will touch your heart. Rich prose and sparkling worldbuilding make this book a treasure! * Elizabeth Helen, author of Bonded by Thorns * Set in a glittering city with a sinister underbelly, The Kiss of the Nightingale is a lush, atmospheric, and wholly original story about music, magic, dangerous attraction and betrayal. A true showstopper of a debut * Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days * Lush writing... It will soar * Laura Shepperson, author of The Heroines *
