Kester Grant reimagines the world of Les Miserables as a dark fantasy, splitting an alternate 1828 Paris between a restored monarchy and nine ruthless underworld guilds. A talented young thief finds herself at the centre of a dangerous power struggle when her adopted sister catches the eye of a guild lord with a terrible reputation. Praised by Kirkus and Publishers Weekly for its vivid world-building, it is an excellent pick for teens who love found-family stakes and morally complicated criminal underworlds.
