Born out of wedlock, Brienna is cast off by her noble family and sent to a boarding house for those looking to study the passions: art, music, dramatics, wit and knowledge. Brienna must discover her passion, in the hope that she will one day be chosen by a wealthy patron, looking to support one of the "impassioned". At the same time a daring plot is brewing - to overthrow the usurper king - and Brienna's memories hold the key to its success... 12+ Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.
