Back Cover: Magic or Marriage?
Twins Persephone and Penelope Leland are anticipating their first London season
with mixed feelings. Pen can’t wait to flirt with handsome young men at
parties, but Persy would far rather stay home and continue her magic studies.
When the twins discover that their governess has been kidnapped as part of a
dastardly plot to enchant the soon-to-be queen, they’re determined to find and
save them both. Along the way, Persy learns that a good lady’s maid is hard to
find, that one should never cast a love spell on anyone after drinking too much
brandy punch at a party, that pesky little brothers can sometimes come in
handy, and that husband-hunting isn’t such an odious task after all, if you can
find the right quarry.
This is a very imaginative book where a set of twins are in
search of love and magic, and end up saving the soon to be queen. It changes
character perspective throughout the story but in such away so that you can see
what is going on. Persy is a beautiful girl who feels that she is a toned down
version of her identical twin. She is also very much into her magic studies and
doesn’t want to deal with her first season. But all the other characters also
come into play throughout the story, which makes for a brilliant story. I
couldn’t put it down and am looking forward to reading the next book, Betraying
Season.
