A Season of Spells by Sylvia Izzo Hunter Pdf

In a Britain where the study of magick inspires many a drawing-room debate, Magistra Sophie Marshall and her shapeshifting professor husband must bend all their learning toward saving the nation from ruin... Amid the bustle of Oxford University, Lady Morgan College has waited for two hundred years, its grounds overgrown, its buildings abandoned. Sophie Marshall is determined to revive magickal education for women in Britain, and where better than its first seat? The mystery of Lady Morgan’s closure has eluded everyone before her, but Sophie has unique advantages: a degree in magickal theory, a stomach for terrifying revelations—and a royal father who owes her a favor. For Sophie’s beloved husband Gray must leave her again, at the request of his king, to spy on a peculiar army massing at Britain’s borders. Led by the so-called Emperor of Gaul, the army wins its battles unopposed, absorbing enemies as if swallowing them whole. Gray fears the Emperor has rediscovered an ancient and deadly truth of the magick that connects their lands. They may all fall under such uncanny dominion—unless Sophie can unearth the secret and rush to Gray’s aid. And they’ll need all the help they can get... Praise for A Season of Spells: “Hunter’s characters and setting feel fully formed, and the story moves briskly through its twists and turns. This compelling blend of fantasy, intrigue, and Regency romance adds up to a thoroughly satisfying adventure.” — Publishers Weekly “Intriguing fantasy.” — Library Journal

A Season of Spells by Sylvia Hunter Pdf

After three years of study at the University in Din Edin, Sophie and Gray return to London escorting Lucia MacNeill, heiress of Alba, to meet the British prince to whom she is betrothed. When sparks fail to fly between the pair, it is an inauspicious start, and when the traitors who tried to poison King Henry escape from prison, the alliance seems to be on shaky ground indeed. In an attempt to forge a connection between Lucia and Roland, Sophie enlists them in her scheme to reopen the mysterious and long-shuttered women's college at Oxford. But the future of the college and of the kingdom itself is put in the balance by a deadly contest between Sophie's group and enemies at Britain's gates.

The Midnight Queen by Sylvia Izzo Hunter Pdf

In a nineteenth-century Britain where magecraft has directed the course of history, a ruthless conspiracy plots intrigue, treason, and murder. Only a pair of brilliant misfits suspect anything is wrong. And to avert disaster, they’ll have to solve a royal mystery more than a decade cold. As the term at Oxford’s Merlin College ends, shy, bookish Gray Marshall accompanies his tutor to the country with nowhere else to go. A misadventure has left him in disgrace with his friends and—temporarily?—without magick. He overheard what sounded like a plan to murder the Master of Merlin. But he has no way to investigate his suspicions, and no one to trust. Until his professor’s odd, neglected middle daughter, Sophie, befriends him, and he realizes there is far more to her than meets the eye. According to her father, Sophie’s dreams of education are unsuitable to a woman. So her midnight library excursions to learn despite him have left her with subtle skills in gathering information, plenty of daring, and even more frustration. As Sophie and Gray begin to guess the aims of the conspirators, they know they must act. But for any chance at justice, they must risk all they have—and change who they are to each other forever... Praise for The Midnight Queen: “Debut novelist Sylvia Izzo Hunter renders both the setting and characters in vivid detail. The structured system of magick gives the fictional world weight, and Hunter manipulates the seemingly disparate plot elements to create tension that culminates in a satisfying conclusion.” — Shelf Awareness “Hunter pulls from a multitude of mystical tales and myths to create her own magical version of Britain that is both innovative and intriguing. ... The Midnight Queen is a novel that readers will be unable to put down.” — RT Book Reviews “The Midnight Queen is a love story that will warm your heart, and a story of magic and struggle, truth and might, in the face of all odds, with some stunning writing that will really hook readers and brings them into the colorful world that Hunter has created.”—Bookworm Blues “Hunter does a splendid job of confounding my expectations ... A fresh and inventive historical novel ... I can’t wait to see what Sylvia Izzo Hunter does next.” — Marie Brennan, author of A Natural History of Dragons “Elegantly written, fast-paced and highly original – a stunning story of magic, scholarship, and true love. Sylvia Izzo Hunter brings both rural Brittany and an alternative Regency England to vivid life. A remarkably assured debut.” — Juliet Marillier, national bestselling author of the Sevenwaters novels

Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Lush with secrets, magic, and a past that won’t stay where it belongs, this novel is (quite fittingly) spellbinding.”—JODI PICOULT, author of Wish You Were Here A deeply atmospheric story about ancestral magic, an unsolved murder, and a second chance at true love ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: She Reads Emery Blackwood’s life changed forever the night her best friend was found dead and the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of murdering her. Years later, she is doing what her teenage self swore she never would: living a quiet existence on the misty, remote shores of Saoirse Island and running the family’s business, Blackwood’s Tea Shoppe Herbal Tonics & Tea Leaf Readings. But when the island, rooted in folklore and magic, begins to show signs of strange happenings, Emery knows that something is coming. The morning she wakes to find that every single tree on Saoirse has turned color in a single night, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past that the town has tried desperately to forget. August knows he is not welcome on Saiorse, not after the night everything changed. As a fire raged on at the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, shaking the bedrock of their tight-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother’s ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from his past that has never healed—Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises spanning generations threaten to reveal the truth behind Lily’s mysterious death once and for all.

Lady of Magick by Sylvia Izzo Hunter Pdf

In a nineteenth-century Britain shaped by magicks both ancient and new, three uneasy heroes find themselves caught in the plots of a foreign nation, with their lives—and loves—at risk... Sophie Marshall, Princess Royal of Britain and the only woman student at Oxford, wants nothing more than to learn without constant scrutiny. When her husband, Gray, is invited to teach shapeshifting in more equitable Alba, she leaps at the chance for more freedom. Still, Alba has problems of its own, warns Joanna, her sister who’s apprenticing in statecraft: famine, unrest, and divisive news to come. And Sophie isn’t the only scholar with secrets. The Marshalls’ delight in exploring a lively, cosmopolitan university community is shadowed with rumors no one will discuss: of clan upheavals, strange powers from the land, blights on crops and livestock. When she and Gray are forced to separate, Sophie questions even her own suspicions. But once Joanna arrives in Alba with her mercurial friend, Gwendolen, the danger is past doubting. Armed only with subtlety, cleverness, and outrageous daring, the women will have to travel through a hostile countryside, find Gray, and root out a conspiracy that threatens their survival—and Alba’s future. Praise for Lady of Magick: “Another intriguing fantasy set in an alternate history version of Regency-era Europe.” — Library Journal “The second installment in Hunter’s Noctis Magicae series will attract both familiar and new readers. ... A new twist in every chapter will keep readers desperately turning pages until the end.” — RT Book Reviews "Fans of Robin McKinley will enjoy this one as well. ... The author did a wonderful job continuing the story. With magic, romance, and mystery this is sure to make your toes curl.” — Night Owl Book Reviews “Fans of fantasy and romance need look no further than Sylvia Izzo Hunter’s Lady of Magick for an entertaining read full of royal intrigue, daringly disobedient young ladies, and regional politics ... 5 Stars – Stay up All Night” — Read Now, Sleep Later

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman Pdf

An instant New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick from beloved author Alice Hoffman—the spellbinding prequel to Practical Magic. Find your magic. For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk. From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Yet, the children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the memorable aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy. Alice Hoffman delivers “fairy-tale promise with real-life struggle” (The New York Times Book Review) in a story how the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is “irresistible…the kind of book you race through, then pause at the last forty pages, savoring your final moments with the characters” (USA TODAY, 4/4 stars).
