Sophie has come to London for her first
season, but her twisted leg makes any real courtship impossible – except for
maybe fortune hunters. And since
her illness, she hasn’t had control over her magic either. With the help of an enthusiastic new
friend and her very handsome cousin, Sophie may be able to find some
happiness. But she had better
figure out how to reclaim her magic, because her father’s life is in danger –
and if she can’t save the Duke of Wellington, then Napoleon may sweep through
the entire continent.
I think
Doyle’s third book is her best writing yet. Her look at the Regency Era was a satisfying blend of
history and magic. This is not the
most popular of genres, but this is a solid entry for larger libraries.
