Lucy Sinclairs debut will be a parade of everything opulent Edwardian London society has to offer. Most importantly, it will be nothing like her older sisters dangerous experienceespecially if her overprotective brother-in-law, Lord Thornewood, has his way. As if screening her dance partners isnt enough, Thornewood insists that his brother, James, train Lucy in self-defense. She wouldnt mind so much if her treacherous mind didnt continue to replay the kiss they once shared.
But awkward defense lessons are the least of her problems. Her arcana, a magical talent that allows her to mentally enter any scene that she draws, grows stronger by the day. Again and again Lucy is compelled to draw a portal to her mothers realm of Sylvaniaand with each stroke of her pen, she risks attracting the attention of the Order of the Eternal Sun, the sinister brotherhood that steals the power of Sylvani blood for their own dark ends.
When a bold new suitor arrives from India, Lucy cant help but be intriguedthough her family questions his mysterious past. But as Lucys own suspicions grow, and the threat of the Order looms larger, Lucy will have to learn to harness her unpredictable power or risk falling under the Orders shadow forever.
