Description

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. Her family's financial situation is precarious, and only securing an advantageous marriage can save them from ruin. A chance discovery leads Beatrice to a valuable grimoire containing the key to becoming a Magus, but her rival sorceress steals it before she can purchase it. To retrieve the book, Beatrice summons a spirit who exacts a price: her first kiss with her adversary's brother, Ianthe Lavan. This is a sweeping, romantic fantasy set in a world reminiscent of Regency England, where women's magic is taken from them when they marry.
