Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family’s property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can’t really live, either.

The Debutantes by Olivia Worley

When debutante Margot Landry was found dead the morning after her reign at last year’s ball, it was a tragedy, but not a shocking one.

With a perfectly poised debutante on the throne, everything is going according to plan…until the ball is hijacked by a mysterious figure in a Jester costume.
