Overview
This two-book paperback set gathers the first two installments of Claire Legrand's Middlemist Trilogy, a lush, gothic fantasy romance series steeped in family curses, forbidden magic, and simmering enemies-to-lovers tension. A Crown of Ivy and Glass introduces Gemma Ashbourne, the only member of her magically gifted family born without power, while A Song of Ash and Moonlight follows her sister Farrin as an uneasy truce between rival houses threatens to unravel. Together they offer sweeping world-building, moral complexity, and swoon-worthy romance for readers who love their fantasy dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged.

About the Books
Claire Legrand's Middlemist Trilogy unfolds in a richly imagined world where magic is inherited, families are bound by blood feuds, and love is never simple. A Crown of Ivy and Glass centers on Gemma Ashbourne, a young noblewoman whose body rejects the magic that defines her powerful family. While her sisters wield formidable gifts, Gemma is left fragile and overlooked, her isolation deepened by a mother's abandonment and a generations-old rivalry with the Bask family. When the mysterious Talan d'Astier enters her life, Gemma is drawn into a dangerous alliance that forces her to question her worth and her world. A Song of Ash and Moonlight picks up as the fragile peace between the Ashbourne and Bask families begins to fracture again. Farrin Bask, the eldest Ashbourne daughter, has spent her life projecting quiet strength while hiding a rare and dangerous musical gift. As old wounds resurface and her attraction to Ryder Bask grows impossible to ignore, Farrin must decide how much she is willing to risk for love and family. Both novels blend gothic court intrigue with intimate, character-driven storytelling, weaving themes of identity, sisterhood, and the cost of power throughout. Read together, this set delivers the full arc of the Ashbourne and Bask family saga so far, ahead of the trilogy's eagerly anticipated conclusion.
