Radical

Women have no ability to cast spells. That’s what wizards have said for generations—and it’s a lie.

Beatrix Harper wants to expose it to protect her sister’s life. Her desperate plan: Train tens of thousands of women in secret, then shock the nation with a display of their magic. She thinks it will work—if only she can keep the details from her town’s wizard, Peter Blackwell.

But that’s nearly impossible thanks to their unwanted magical connection. As their Vows tie them ever more tightly together, Peter is never more than a step behind her. Stopping her is nearly as important to him as countering the terrible weapon he wishes he hadn't invented.

What happens when two desperate plans collide?

Radical is the second novel in the completed Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in an Edwardian-feeling 21st century America that appeals to fans of gaslamp fantasy, fighting the patriarchy, intrigue and slow-burn romance with some steam.
