Beskrivelse

A captivating debut adult novel from the bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater, blending romance, history, and magic against the backdrop of war. Set in the luxurious Avallon Hotel nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, the story explores love and bravery during turbulent times.

A magical and suspenseful tale of love, secrets, and courage amid the looming threat of war.

The Avallon Hotel, famed for its unmatched luxury and healing sweetwater, stands as a sanctuary in the rugged Appalachian Mountains. June 'Hoss' Hudson, once a local girl and now the hotel's general manager, has long understood the power of the waters and the influence of the Gilfoyle family, the aristocratic owners behind the century-old establishment.

But everything changes in 1942 when war arrives at the Avallon, disguised in elegant furs and official government attire. Under the watchful eye of the State Department, the Gilfoyle heir opens the doors to three hundred enemy diplomats and Nazi sympathizers, forcing June into the role of host.

As hidden alliances form and unexpected passions ignite, the polished facade of the hotel begins to crack. Not every guest is as they appear, especially Agent Tucker Minnick, who eavesdrops through the walls with a coal tattoo marking his mysterious past-a past that could unravel June’s carefully guarded secrets.

Most unsettling of all is the secret June has protected for years: the mountain’s sweetwater can be as dangerous as it is healing.
