“A charming and mannered fantasy confection with a darker core of gothic romance” is how New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb described
Galen Beckett’s marvelous series opener, The Magicians and Mrs. Quent.
Now Beckett returns to this world of dazzling magick and refined
manners, where one extraordinary woman’s choice will put the fate of a
nation — and all she cherishes — into precarious balance.
Her
courage saved the country of Altania and earned the love of a hero of
the realm. Now sensible Ivy Quent wants only to turn her father’s
sprawling, mysterious house into a proper home. But soon she is swept
into fashionable society’s highest circles of power — a world that is
vital to her family’s future but replete with perilous temptations.
Yet far greater danger lies beyond the city’s glittering ballrooms — and Ivy
must race to unlock the secrets that lie within the old house on Durrow
Street before outlaw magicians and an ancient ravening force plunge
Altania into darkness forever.
