Reviews
"The author's penetrating social critique and deeply felt depiction of one woman's struggle for self-determination are balanced by her charming take on classic Regency romance. . . . An expertly concocted mélange of sweet romance and sharp social commentary." -- Kirkus , starred review "Polk's foray into a society of magic and politics places the woman in the secondary role, but neither Beatrice nor Ysbeta will stay in place.

Synopsis
Finalist for the 2021 World Fantasy, Nebula, and FIYAHCON Ignyte Awards 2021 Canada Reads Finalist Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2020 November 2020 Indie Next Pick Amazon Editors' Pick for Best SFF of October 2020 Apple Books: Best Books of the Month for October 2020 From the beloved World Fantasy Award-winning author of Witchmark comes a sweeping, romantic new fantasy set in a world reminiscent of Regency England, where women's magic is taken from them when they marry. A sorceress must balance her desire to become the first great female magician against her duty to her family., Beatrice is a sorceress but practices her magic in secret, terrified of the day she will marry and be locked into a warding collar that will cut off her magic to protect her unborn children from spirit possession. She dreams of becoming a full-fledged Magus, permitted to join the Chapterhouse and pursue magic as her calling just as men do. But her family has traveled to the city for Bargaining Season, when young men and women of means socialize and negotiate to secure the best marriages. Beatrice's family is in severe debt, and she is expected to make an advantageous match. In a stroke of luck, Beatrice finds a grimoire that would allow her to summon a Greater Spirit, a feat which--if successful--would make her a Magus. But before she can purchase it, a rival sorceress swindles the book right out of her hands. Beatrice summons a minor spirit to help her get it back, but the spirit's price is Beatrice's first kiss--with the rival sorceress's brother, the handsome and understanding Ianthe Lavan. As Beatrice becomes more entangled with the Lavans, the choices that once seemed clear become harder: if she casts the spell to become a Magus, she will devastate her family and destroy her chance to be with the man she loves; but if she marries, even for love, she will lose her magic, her dreams, and everything that makes her who she is. Beatrice must choose one--and regret the other forever., 2021 World Fantasy Award Finalist for Best Novel 2021 Nebula Award Finalist for Best Novel 2021 FIYAHCON Ignyte Award Finalist for Best Novel 2021 Canada Reads Finalist NPR Best Books of 2020 November 2020 Indie Next Pick Apple Books: Best Books of October "A sleek, beautiful book with a quietly serious heart." -- The New York Times From the bestselling, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Witchmark comes a sweeping, romantic new fantasy set in a world reminiscent of Regency England, where women's magic is taken from them when they marry. A sorceress must balance her desire to become the first great female magician against her duty to her family. Beatrice Clayborn is a sorceress who practices magic in secret, terrified of the day she will be locked into a marital collar that will cut off her powers to protect her unborn children. She dreams of becoming a full-fledged Magus and pursuing magic as her calling as men do, but her family has staked everything to equip her for Bargaining Season, when young men and women of means descend upon the city to negotiate the best marriages. The Clayborns are in severe debt, and only she can save them, by securing an advantageous match before their creditors come calling. In a stroke of luck, Beatrice finds a grimoire that contains the key to becoming a Magus, but before she can purchase it, a rival sorceress swindles the book right out of her hands. Beatrice summons a spirit to help her get it back, but her new ally exacts a price: Beatrice's first kiss . . . with her adversary's brother, the handsome, compassionate, and fabulously wealthy Ianthe Lavan. The more Beatrice is entangled with the Lavan siblings, the harder her decision becomes: If she casts the spell to become a Magus, she will devastate her family and lose the only man to ever see her for who she is; but if she marries--even for love--she will sacrifice her magic, her identity, and her dreams. But how can she choose just one, knowing she will forever regret the path not taken?
