17yo Delilah is an untested witch. Her family has been cursed for generations and Delilah wants to try to break the curse. So when the Witch's Council come to assign Delilah, before she can propose her calling, 17yo Kieran interrupts and invokes "The Rite of Mortality" asking that Delilah's calling be to break HIS family curse. Thus starts a quest, avoiding city guards tasked with capturing them, discovering many curses, and trying to break a centuries old curse put on the Pelumbra family.
A marvelous quest, with lots of interesting sub characters, some only in the story for a chapter or two. The setting is steam punk, as they are traveling in an airship. I liked that witches were both male and female, and that the society was OK with same sex attraction. The romances are sweet. There's lots of action and danger, and the manifestations of all the different curses and magics is great.
Delilah, Keiran and Briar are white, as well as LGBTQ+.
