BLURB
I'm on the precipice of a cliff.
One light breeze away from falling off.

At 16, Eden Fortin sees nothing but a bright future ahead of her. With a valuable promotion on the horizon, she is granted a coveted spot as a debutante alongside her wealthy friend, Fallon Riviere, an important step in escaping the sordid South Bout and securing a future with her beau, Myles Taillefer, the son of a powerful representative.
But the happily ever after of Eden’s fairytale rise will be more dangerous than she realizes.
Hunter Calder, an indentured servant in the Riviere household, is far too familiar with the family’s schemes. Forced to pay off his father’s debt, he discovers a dark secret about the mysterious grimoires Cartier City uses to maintain order. However, revealing the truth might not provide the freedom he seeks.
As Eden becomes overwhelmed with the requirements of high society, her rivals uncover the means to her undoing. Just as grimoire magic works in ripples, so the ruin of Eden Fortin will be the catalyst for bringing Cartier City to its knees.

Filled with suspenseful mystery, shattered dreams, and dire consequences, the first book in this sweeping reimagining of Alexandre Dumas’ masterpiece, The Count of Monte Cristo, invites you into the resplendent world of Cartier City and will make you question everything you know about happy endings.

MY REVIEW

Thought provoking and deep, THE BETRAYAL OF EDEN is an intricately woven story of deception, sociopolitical struggles, and of finding one’s worth despite betrayal. Erin Phillips does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged and interested in the complex plot and weaving a multi-perspective story, leaving off at an enormous cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. If you loved the intrigue of FAWKES or the drama and suspense of Enola Holmes, pick up this book (and wait for the rest of the series) ASAP. 

I read an advanced edition; my opinions above are my own!
