Sur l’île de Crow, on murmure que la magie se cache juste sous la surface.

Mais la magie n’intéresse pas Annie Mason. Pas depuis qu’elle lui a volé son avenir. Elle n’est sur l’île que pour régler la succession de son défunt père et, avec un peu de chance, renouer avec sa meilleure amie, Beatrice, absente depuis longtemps, qui a fui leur vie morne pour une vie plus glamour.

Pourtant, Crow Island regorge de tentations, et la plus envoûtante d’entre elles pourrait bien être son énigmatique nouvelle voisine.

Emmeline Delacroix est une figure séduisante qui fait l’objet de rumeurs de sorcellerie. Bientôt, Annie est entraînée dans un monde brillant et hanté. Un monde où les limites de la méchanceté sont testées, et où le coût de la magie illicite peut être la mort.

À ceux qui sont brillants et jeunes, à ceux qui sont sauvages et méchants, bienvenue sur l’île aux corbeaux.

On Crow Island, people whisper that real magic lurks just below the surface.

But magic doesn’t interest Annie Mason. Not after it stole her future. She’s on the island only to settle her late father’s estate and, hopefully, reconnect with her long-absent best friend, Beatrice, who fled their dreary lives for a more glamorous one.

Yet Crow Island is brimming with temptation, and the most mesmerizing may be her enigmatic new neighbor.

Emmeline Delacroix is an alluring figure shadowed by rumors of witchcraft. Soon, Annie is drawn into a glittering, haunted world. A world where the boundaries of wickedness are tested, and the cost of illicit magic might be death.

To those who are bright and young; to those who are wild and wicked; welcome to Crow Island.

“Brimming with romance and gilded with danger, Wild and Wicked Things is a heady, lyrical gem of a book.”―Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

“Haunting, immersive, and seething with dark magic, Wild and Wicked Things cast its spell on me”―Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching

“[T]his compelling queer gothic gas-lamp tale of witchcraft, wealth, and war is filled with brooding atmosphere, sensual details, and a sense of creeping dread….[a] tale of secrets, lies, and mistakenly raising the dead, will keep readers guessing and turning pages to the very end. Highly recommended for lovers of dark, witchy fantasy.”―Library Journal (starred review)

Wild and Wicked Things ticked all my boxes. May’s vivid prose carries us off to a world not quite unlike our own and spins the story of one woman coming into her own, another fighting the darkness inside her, and the two of them drawing together to become something more. I couldn’t put it down.”―Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch’s Heart
