Ezra Bright has returned to London after serving in World War I but, like many surviving soldiers, he’s haunted—by the horrors of the front lines, the loss of his adoptive brother and the strange magic flickering at the edge of his vision. Desperate to outrun his past, Ezra falls into a dazzling new world of socialites known for their elaborate costume parties and spralling scavenger hunts.
But these Bright Young Things are hungry. And none more than Celia, a disgraced heiress, who warns Ezra that these parties are only a glittering façade for a secret society of magicians. For centuries, the Order, at the behest of its mysterious leader, has plundered magical relics. Their ultimate prize lies buried in Egypt, and unlocking it requires ancient magic—one Celia believes Ezra alone possesses.
When a note in his room is mistaken for the opening clue of a scavenger hunt, Ezra and his friends are launched into high stakes race across Egypt. As secrets are unearthed and the dead refuse to stay buried, Ezra must confront the truth of his heritage—and the full cost of his power—before the Order claims it first.

Praise for Ryan Graudin
“Every page of Ryan Graudin’s latest is molten gold. Thrilling, charming, and utterly transportive. True to form, Graudin sprinkles this tale with so much heart and humor and glittering dialogue that it’s impossible not to walk away enchanted.” ―Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
“Ryan Graudin’s magical Paris is glittering and seedy, glorious and deadly, fabulous and unforgiving. This novel of delicious skullduggery brings the City of Lights to life. I wish I could slip into its pages for a stroll, and see my favorite places rendered fantastical. This is the Paris novel of my dreams.” ―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Strange the Dreamer
"The Enchanted Lies of Céleste Artois is sublime and seductive, full of midnight magic and spun-glass secrets. I never wanted to wake up from this luminous fever dream of a novel." ―Lyra Selene, author of A Feather So Black
"Graudin mixes a heady cocktail of decadent parties with the bittersweet tang of a world about to self-destruct. This is a delectable confection." ―Publishers Weekly
"Graudin’s adult debut weaves real and imagined characters into a tale full of romance, art, curiosity and pain. An expansive fantasy."―Library Journal
"It’s always nice to see a new way of thinking about magic, both in how it might come into existence and then be used; Ryan Graudin has done it thoughtfully, without overly complicated rules and still internally consistent." ―Locus
