Publisher's summary

It's difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you're a young lady with only half a soul.

Ever since a faerie cursed her, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear, embarrassment or even happiness - a condition which makes her sadly prone to accidental scandal. Dora's only goal for the London Season this year is to stay quiet and avoid upsetting her cousin's chances at a husband. But when the Lord Sorcier of England learns of her condition, she finds herself drawn ever more deeply into the tumultuous concerns of magicians and faeries.

Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle in this enchanting historical fantasy romance, where the only thing more meddlesome than faeries is a marriage-minded mother.

This audiobook includes a bonus short story.

Critic reviews

"A hugely enjoyable take on the Regency.... I wolfed this down with great pleasure." (KJ Charles)

"I've read these books more times than I can count. Atwater's stubborn, quietly radical characters defy the expectations of both society and fairy tales as they blaze new paths towards love and decency. Smart and subversive, these charming romances will ignite your heart - and your hope." (Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun)

"Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm.... Dora and the Lord Sorcier have a place amongst my favourite fantasy romance couples ever." (India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels)

Absolutely charmig!

A wonderful charming story set in a regency style with a magical twist. The main charcters are interesting and likable with a rather unique main female lead.

I loved it. Loved that the mc is metaphorically neurodivergent and so very lovable! It was well written and highly enjoyable.

I needed this type of fantasy!

This is funny, wholesome and so easy to devour! It’s been a long time since I didn’t want a book to end, and this is one of those rare moments when I feel the need to buy a physical copy after listening to the audiobook. New favorite🤩 Highly recommend!

I really wanted to like this

I just didn’t. I thought the plot was shallow and slow, and then it just got wrapped up so fast I felt like I might have missed something.
I also really didn’t like how the narrator portrayed Elias. I felt like I was listening to the angry maid on Downton Abbey, Sarah O’Brien, and it really took me so much out of the romance, haha. Couldn’t un-hear.
