Third in a witty and irreverent adventure series set in Jane Austen times - with magic!With only days to go before her sister Angeline' s long-delayed wedding to Frederick Carlyle, the impetuous Kat Stephenson has resigned herself to good behaviour. But Kat' s initiation into the magical Order of the Guardians is fast approaching, and trouble seems to follow her everywhere. Kat must contend with the wretched Mrs Carlyle' s attempts to humiliate her sister, the arrival of the mysterious Marquise de Valmont, who bears a suspicious resemblance to Kat' s late mother, and Frederick' s bewitching cousin Jane, who has Charles Stephenson tripping over his feet. But when a menacing boy with powerful magic starts hunting Kat, a dastardly villain tries to kill Angeline, and the Guardians face a magical robbery that could spell the end of their Order, propriety becomes the least of Kat' s concerns. Can Kat save her sister' s life, the Order of the Guardians and England itself, before it' s too late?

#03: A Reckless Magick

Kat Stephenson, incorrigible as ever, returns to sow more magical chaos in Regency England . . . this rollicking tale is neither historical fiction nor literary retread. Recommended for readers who like their fantasy seasoned with feisty characters and nonstop action * Kirkus Reviews * Regency romance meets Harry Potter with a strong jolt of twenty-first-century feminism - will have readers swooning all over again * Booklist * Magic. Austen. A feisty heroine who cuts her hair short and punches snobby women on the nose. I was always going to love this book. Witchery in Austen-land is a fabulous idea. * Armadillo magazine * Stunning conclusion to an absolutely magical trilogy. Huge recommendation. * The Bookbag * I absolutely adored this third (and hopefully not final) Kat Stephenson adventure from hilarious start to heartwarming finish. * The Book Smugglers *
