Book 3 of the Regency Faerie Tales series
288 pages · First published 2022
Eighteen-year-old Abigail Wilder would rather study magic than navigate the expectations of London's fashionable society, but even being the daughter of England's Lord Sorcier cannot persuade others to take her abilities seriously. When young women begin dying mysteriously in their sleep, Abigail is determined to investigate the dark faerie lord suspected of causing their deaths. Her search leads her to Mercy, an unconventional, self-taught magician whose unusual powers and mysterious past raise as many questions as they answer. With the help of Mercy and her ghostly younger brother, Abigail must unravel a dangerous supernatural mystery while confronting her own growing feelings for her unexpected ally. Blending Regency manners, sinister faerie magic, romance, and a touch of humor, this enchanting fantasy will appeal to readers who enjoy clever heroines, magical investigations, slow-burning romance, and stories of courage and finding one's place in the world.

Content notes
Mysterious deaths of young women, murder, and the appearance of a deceased child as a ghost. Grief, family bereavement, kidnapping, and frightening situations involving a dangerous faerie lord, supernatural threats, and curses. Class prejudice and restrictive social expectations. Romantic attraction and kissing, without a verified explicit sexual encounter. Includes a same-sex romance. Editor's note: Although the romance is gentle and the story ultimately hopeful, this installment contains darker supernatural material than its whimsical presentation may suggest, including mysterious deaths, ghosts, grief, and threats from dangerous faerie magic.
