Discover the founder of Diversity is Lit Bookclub’s debut where one girl’s magical power is both a gift and a curse.
Sixteen-year-old
Cadence was born with the ability to cry tears of diamonds–a secret
talent her parents have abused to climb the royal ranks thanks to the
infinite source of wealth. At their command, she cries diamonds to pay
for the pricey treatments for her sister’s neuromuscular disorder.
Regardless of the pain, she’ll do anything for her sister, who weakens
by the day.
When the
prince heckles Cadence at the King’s Summer Solstice Ball about her
sister’s disability while dancing in the ballroom, she’s left on the
verge of tears, threatening to expose her power. She is saved by a
mysteriously charming girl who sweeps in to take the next dance—and the
single diamond Cadence cried. The stranger reveals the Magi Queen sent
her to tell Cadence that she’s a mage, and that her power is a curse.
Yearning
to discover the secrets behind her powers, Cadence sets off for the City
of Magi. To claim the life she wants, Cadence must embrace her
power—before she loses the bright spots in her otherwise sad existence.
After all, even diamonds can shatter.
