Blurb from Goodreads:
In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire,
a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous
magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.
Tamsin
is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the
worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the
inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for
just a little while—is to steal love from others.
Wren is a
source—a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable
to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon
as they discover their abilities, but Wren—the only caretaker to her
ailing father—has spent her life hiding her secret.
When a
magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save
him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark
witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin
her love for her father.
Of course, love bargains are a tricky
thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them—that
is, if they don't kill each other first...
