The marriageable young ladies of London are dying mysteriously, and Abigail Wilder intends to discover why. Abigailโs father, the Lord Sorcier of England, believes that a dark lord of faerie is involved. But while Abigail is willing to match her magic against Lord Longshadow, neither her father nor high society believes that she is capable of doing so. Thankfully, Abigail is not the only one investigating the terrible events. Mercy, a street rat and self-taught magician, insists on joining Abigail in unraveling the mystery. Mercy is unpredictable, and her magic is strange and forebodingโbut the greatest danger she poses may well be to Abigailโs heart. A queer romantic faerie tale of defiant hope and love against all odds, set in Olivia Atwaterโs enchanting version of Regency England.

I loved it.โ โAlix E. Harrow โA perfect historical fantasy romance: Warm, sparkling with magic, dangerous, and delightful.โ โTasha Suri
