Twilight Hauntings by Angie Sage

 

Desperate to save their child, Hagos, the King’s enchanter and his wife Pearl, force the babe into the arms of a woman who reluctantly takes baby Alex in a basket with a mysterious wallet tucked in the blankets. As Alex grows, a Cinderella to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, she learns how to use the magical cards in her father’s wallet. She just might be an Enchanter herself, and Enchanters are banned in Luma. When her stepsister turns her in, Alex sees the sentinels coming for her in the cards and escapes just in time. Outside the city lurk the Hauntings, menacing creatures that hunt down those who practice magic. Alex’s only clue to who she is and how to survive are the mysterious hexagonal cards.
