Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this is a comedy of manners, manor houses, and hedge mazes: including a magic-infused murder mystery and a delightful queer romance.
'Lush historical fantasy . . . A delightful book, with richly developed characters' - New York Times
'Mystery! Magic! Murder! . . . This book is a confection, both marvellous and light' - Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
For fans of Georgette Heyer or Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, who'd like to welcome magic into their lives . . .
Young baronet Robin Blyth thought he was taking up a minor governmental post. However, he's actually been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. If it weren't for this administrative error, he'd never have discovered the incredible magic underlying his world.
Cursed by mysterious attackers and plagued by visions, Robin becomes determined to drag answers from his missing predecessor - but he'll need the help of Edwin Courcey, his hostile magical-society counterpart. Unwillingly thrown together, Robin and Edwin will discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles.
The Binding meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in debut author Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light. Continue the thrilling series with A Restless Truth.
'A dazzling debut' - Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
'Prepare to fall in love with the gorgeous Edwardian setting, the sizzling character dynamics, and the murderous enchanted hedge maze' - Emily Tesh, author of Silver in the Wood
'An absolute delight . . . If you ever wished Downton Abbey was sharper-edged and full of magic, this is the book for you' - Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians

I mostly chose books by their covers
I mostly chose books by their covers. I will sneek a peek inside after to confirm, but i am seldomly wrong in my choice. I listened to this novel, since I dont have much time to read and am always on the road these days. It starts off as a historic fiction, combined with a fantastical twist, as some of the population have a kind of magic and the other part of the people dont know about it. It ist a mystery because a man goes missing and his replacement at work as well as his coworker start to search for him. Its is a very thrilling story and you always want to keep listening, reading. It gets very steamy, when the two men fall for each other, and it is explained in many words what they do to each other. All in all a great read, and I am looking forward to the two following books in this series.
