Synopsis
In a Regency-inspired fantasy world, sorceress Beatrice Clayborn desperately seeks a grimoire that will let her bind a greater spirit — the only way to avoid marriage and the collar that would suppress her magic forever. When she meets a rival sorceress and a charming suitor, she must find a way to have both love and power.
