Delusion

By Laura L. Sullivan | Publisher: HarperCollins

About the book

Opening-night jitters are nothing new for seventeen-year-old Phil and her sister Fee, who come from a centuries-old line of stage illusionists. In this gripping YA historical fantasy, the girls love to dazzle London audiences, but in the aftermath of the Blitz they’re shipped off to the countryside, away from the bombs and Nazis. Phil, however, wants to fight for her country, and when she stumbles upon a hidden college of real magicians—a powerful secret society—led by the devastatingly handsome Arden, all she wants to do is persuade them to help England win the war. She’ll risk anything to give her country a fighting chance, even if it means losing her heart ...or her life.

  • Magic and Romance: She only wants his help to win the war, but the devastatingly handsome Arden has other ideas for Phil’s heart.
  • World War II Fantasy: Evacuated from the London Blitz, two sisters trade the stage for the English countryside, only to discover a new kind of war fought with real magic.
  • Sisters Fiction: Stage illusionists Phil and Fee have always been inseparable, but a hidden magical world and the pressures of a world at war will test their bond.
  • Slow Burn Romance: He’s the leader of a secret magical order; she’s the determined girl trying to recruit him. Resisting their attraction is a battle neither may be prepared to win.
