Fantasia & scifi
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 liked the magic system and the characters and the mystery were engaging. Hopefully we'll get to see the main pair again in a future book.

A highly entertaining and quite intense adventure and romance in a magical 19th century England. Not a fan of the presenter's dramatic style, though; a regrettably parodical tone that makes it difficult to relate to the main characters. Otherwise the book itself gets full marks.

The narration doesn't do the characters/vibe justice 💀😭 but it is a lovely story! I think I'll have to read this book instead to fully appreciate it! (Haven't finished the book yet, had to pause to laugh and review when the characters were getting intimate, because the narrator makes it kind of comical instead of steamy like it definitely could be!)

Just magnificent! Both the reader and the story. I just loved the queer love in this book and the main characters personalities. I seldomly feel connected to any characters, but now Edwin just clicked.
