The sumptuous YA rivals-to-lovers, forced-proximity YA romantic fantasy from the New York Times-bestselling author Ayana Gray. Hawk & Sparrow is perfect for fans of Divine Rivals.

A young reporter gets embroiled in a murder investigation and must fake a relationship with a wealthy sorcerer to save her livelihood, and find the truth.

In the industrious city of Basalton at the height of the gilded age, highborn families use enchantments to flaunt power and status, while the lower classes dabble in cheap counterfeit enchantments.

Seventeen-year-old orphan Vesper doesn't trust magic, or the sorcerers who wield it. Instead, she commits herself to her job as a writer for the Basalton Herald. But when her newspaper finds itself under threat and she happens to witness a murder first-hand, everything changes.

Maximilian Kite is not only the heir to one of Basalton’s wealthiest families, he’s also a sorcerer, and one with a bold proposal for Vesper. If she can use her investigative skill to prove his innocence he’ll pay her more money than she's ever seen in her life.

Max is everything Vesper despises – but his offer is too good to pass up. And to infiltrate the upper class, Vesper must pretend they are courting. What ever could go wrong?
