In 1837 London, young daughters of viscounts pined for handsome, titled husbands, not careers. And certainly not careers in magic. At least, most of them didn''t.Shy, studious Persephone Leland would far rather devote herself to her secret magic studies than enter society and look for a suitable husband. But right as the inevitable season for "coming out" is about to begin, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. Racing through Mayfair ballrooms and royal palaces, the sisters overcome bad millinery, shady royal spinsters, and a mysterious Irish wizard. And along the way, Persy learns that husband hunting isn''t such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry.Bewitching Season is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children''s Book of the Year.

But that changes when he and his family unexpectedly follow them to a secluded Adirondack camp to join Alice's family. Grace finds herself falling in love—and not just with the breathtaking forests.But sometimes stern family warnings really should be heeded and ancient magical heritages not forgotten, especially when it turns out that not everything—and everyone—are quite what they seem... - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

A best-selling author.A missing manuscript.The readers of London are raging... The popular but reclusive author E.C. Spruce has outdone himself with a delicious new three-volume novel, The Fifty Shades of Udolpho, and all of London—including Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack's—are devouring it. That is, until the third volume begins vanishing from bookshops and bedside tables alike, leaving readers desperate to know how the story ends. Suspecting supernatural forces are at play, Annabel and her fellow Lady Patronesses investigate the literary loss. A clever trap reveals an unexpected (and smelly) culprit, but it appears that plot twists aren't always reserved for the page. Will they be able to bring the thieving mastermind to justice? And could the Marquis of Quinceton actually be more of a help than a disconcerting hindrance? The Vanishing Volume is the second book in The Ladies of Almack's series by Marissa Doyle.
