Enchantée (Enchantée #1) by Gita Trelease-Paperback

Paris in 1789 is a city filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries – and magicians…

Seventeen-year-old orphan Camille has to provide for her frail sister and her volatile brother. They survive by using the pretty magic she learnt from their mother – transforming scrap material into coins. But when things take a turn for the worse, Camille must pursue a more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette’s Versailles.

Using magic, Camille transforms herself into a glamorous Baroness. But as she is swept up into a dizzying world of riches and finery, suitors and revolutionaries, Camille soon discovers that she’s not the only one leading a double life.

Hi there! I hope you’ll follow me on GR for updates and on Instagram and Twitter, where I post about my books, my process, and random musings. Hope to see you there!

I was born in Sweden to Indian and Swedish parents and have lived in lots of places, including New York, Paris, and a tiny town in central Italy. I attended Yale College and New York University, where I earned a Ph.D. in British literature. Before becoming a novelist (what I’d always dreamed of becoming if I didn’t become a spy), I taught classes on writing and fairy tales—some of which have seeped into my stories.

With my husband and son, I divide my time between a spooky old village in Massachusetts and the coast of Maine, where I’m still searching for a secret portal that will take me back to Versailles.
