“Another knockout historical fantasy from Ryan Graudin!” –Mackenzi Lee, author of Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue“The Mummy meets Great Gatsby in this page-turner that blends magic and history where the sparkling Jazz Age hides a dark secret.” –Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Night of the Witch“Ancient secrets and dangerous magic drive a perilous treasure hunt in Bright and Broken Things, where both desire and deception haunt Graudin’s richly drawn characters. Sweeping, seductive, and unforgettable.” –Lyra Selene, author of A Feather So Black“Graudin is the rarest kind of storyteller. A propulsive poet and an uncanny wordsmith, to wander in Graudin’s imagination is to ascend to another plane entirely.” –Roshani Chokshi, author of The Last Tale of the Flower Bride“A thrilling adventure of tangled secrets, gilded facades, and a desperate race against the abuses of magic by men who will never be satisfied. Bright and Broken Things is exhilarating and immersive.”–Susan J. Morris, author of Strange Beasts“A glittering historical fantasy! Immersive, exciting, and insightful, Bright and Broken Things is a sparkling and sharp adventure.” –Rowenna Miller, author of The Dancer and the Dream Thief“Ryan Graudin’s Bright and Broken Things delivers the high-stakes tension of a thriller wrapped in the rich, atmospheric silk of historical fiction. Engrossing and cinematic, this is a must read.” –Kathleen Kaufman, author of The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey
