Kate's first season in London would have been difficult enough if things had gone smoothly, but things turns from difficult to deadly when she gets caught in a feud between sorcerers. Meanwhile her best friend Cecelia is stuck at home and what starts off as an extremely dull season turns sinister when a new girl arrives with trouble trailing behind her. As the situation escalates, Cecelia and Kate are told to wait in the drawing rooms and let the sorcerers handle things, but thanks to their letters they know more about the situation than anyone suspects--enough to do something about it themselves!
This novel is as true to the letter-writing tradition as you can get. It began as a game between the two authors, each taking on a different persona and writing letters back and forth to each other to amuse themselves. Thankfully they realized that what they had at the end was a book that others might enjoy as well, so they thought to clean it up and publish it. That sense of light-hearted amusement leaps from the pages to the reader. Magic, adventure, romance, intrigue, fashion, letters, sass: this book has it all! If you need a pick-me-up or just want to spend a delightful afternoon in a world of magic and wit, this is a the book for you!
