'An enchanting cross between Georgette Heyer and Susanna Clarke' - Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted
In Regency London, Zacharias Wythe is England's first African Sorcerer Royal. He leads the eminent Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers, but a malicious faction seeks to remove him by fair means or foul. Meanwhile, the Society is failing its vital duty - to keep stable the levels of magic within His Majesty's lands. The Fairy Court is blocking its supply, straining England's dangerously declining magical stores.
Ambitious orphan Prunella Gentleman is desperate to escape the school where she's drudged all her life, and a visit by the beleaguered Sorcerer Royal seems the perfect opportunity. For Prunella has just stumbled upon English magic's greatest discovery in centuries - and she intends to make the most of it. Together, Zacharias and Prunella might just change the nature of sorcery, in Britain and beyond.

Langatmig und teilweise wirsch
Die Geschichte an und für sich ist ok. Ich war allerdings zeitweise kurz davor das Buch weg zulegen. Ich fand es teilweise wirr und schwer nachzuvollziehen. Mir fehlte auch irgendwie die nötige Spannung. Zwischendurch kam dann doch was auf, was mich zum weiterlesen bewog. Grundsätzlich ist der Plot gut. Das Buch enthält aber viele verwirrende Fachbegriffe. Es ist nett zu lesen, ich persönlich fand es aber wenig fesselnd.
