A Wild Radiance — Maria Ingrande Mora

A searing YA dystopian fantasy for fans of Arcane and Iron Widow! When a girl with the ability to conduct electricity discovers that the powerful House of Industry is not the benevolent organization they present to be, she teams up with two boys—former lovers—who are standing against the harm the House has caused in the name of progress.Josephine Haven’s outbursts are infamous at the House of Industry, the secretive school for children who can wield Radiance, an electricity-like magic. She’s tried to follow the rules, but her fiery nature is at odds with the core tenant of the House: never form attachments to others. How is she meant to feel nothing when her classmates are maddening? No one is surprised when upon graduation, Josephine is banished to the Mission farthest from Sterling City. In Frostbrook, she must work under the authority of standoffish Julian, the former golden boy of the House of Industry. Rather than being helpful, he seems determined to watch her fail. And then there’s Ezra, the flirtatious stranger who’s a little too curious about how the Mission operates. But there are bigger problems than two frustrating, secretive boys. A deadly disease is spreading across the countryside. When Josephine pulls on threads she shouldn’t, she discovers that the Wasting is a consequence of the powerful magic she’s been spreading across the land. Horrified, Josephine resolves to expose the corruption at the heart of everything she’s ever known. With no remaining allegiance to the House, she gives in to intoxicating feelings and discovers that relationships are even messier than she imagined. Alongside unexpected allies Julian and Ezra, Josephine must return to Sterling City and take down the House of Industry before the damage caused by Radiance becomes irreversible.Perfect for fans of: Queerplatonic Poly Relationship Hurt/ ComfortSunshine/ Grump/ GremlinFantasy Road TripMagic SchoolDisaster BisForced Proximity
