The Fate of the Saint-Clair Sisters

Content : Two twin sisters from the aristocracy arrive in Paris for the ball season, set in a magical, alternate-history world.

Spring 1882.
Twin sisters Eugénie and Constance de Saint-Clair arrive in Paris for their second social season. Eugénie, fascinated by the powers of ether, is seeking a patron to fund her inventions, while Constance keeps a low profile, hoping to secure a suitable marriage after last year’s disappointments. But both are soon drawn into the intrigues of the capital, where the presence of fairies divides the aristocracy.

Will Eugénie succeed in joining the circle of the Sisters of the Secret? And can Constance trust the mysterious Captain de Rouvroy after he once put her in mortal danger?

Set in a reimagined 19th-century Paris, where Napoleon III rules with the aid of fairies, this enchanting tale follows two sisters who have grown apart but are reunited by a deadly conspiracy. Against the backdrop of a vibrant aristocratic world—full of balls, salons, marriage intrigues, and country gatherings—Marie L. Morroch, a new author discovered through the 2023 Rageot x Babelio contest, weaves a captivating story of danger, secrets, and sisterly bonds.
