Graceless Heart tells the lyrical story of Ravenna as she navigates a country war torn between The Pope and his war against magic. While Ravenna's first occupation is helping run her family's inn she dreams of becoming a true sculptress and forever hiding the magic that flows beneath her skin. When her brother is put in a compromising position she must a win a contest to save him. However, being the winner is not all that it seems... Swept into a world of politics and secrets alongside one of the most powerful families in Florence Ravenna must do whatever it takes to survive. 

A completely unique historical-romantasy that will set new standards for the genre! I was completely consumed by Ibañez's storytelling and hypnotized by the beautiful cover art. A 10/10 to the core.
