Subversive

A wizard. An unwilling assistant. An explosive secret.

In an America controlled by wizards and 100 years behind on women's rights, Beatrix Harper counts herself among the resistance—the Women's League for the Prohibition of Magic. Then Peter Blackwell, the only wizard her town has ever produced, unexpectedly returns home and presses her into service as his assistant.

Beatrix fears he wants to undermine the League. His real purpose is far more dangerous for them both.

Subversive is the first novel in the completed Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in an Edwardian-feeling 21st century that appeals to fans of gaslamp fantasy, fighting the patriarchy, intrigue and slow-burn romance with some steam.
