Wicked Like A Wildfire — Lana Popović Harper

All the women in Iris and Malina's family are born with a gleam—a unique way of experiencing and manipulating beauty through magic. Seventeen-year-old Iris sees flowers as fractals and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, her twin sister Malina interprets moods as music, and their cold, distant mother bakes scenery into decadent treats at her confectionery in Old Town Cattaro. But when a mysterious, white-haired woman attacks their mother and leaves her hovering between life and death, the sisters must trace their way back to the ancient curse that haunts their line. To break the curse and save each other, the sisters must untangle a thousand years of lies and come to terms with their own secrets. Wicked Like a Wildfire was published by Katherine Tegen Books/HarperCollins on August 15, 2017.

Wicked Like A Wildfire will be published in Serbian by Publik Praktikum, and in Turkish by Pegasus Yayinclari.
