Summary

It's 1830, in an alternate Britain where the "scientific" principles of magic were discovered 60 years previously, allowing the British to win the American War of Independence. Although Britain is now supreme among the Great Powers, the gulf between rich and poor in the Empire has widened and unrest is growing every day. Master Thomas, the King's Royal Sorcerer, is ageing and must find a successor to lead the Royal Sorcerers Corps. Most magicians can possess only one of the panoply of known magical powers, but Thomas needs to find a new Master of all the powers. There is only one candidate, one person who has displayed such a talent from an early age, but this person has been neither trained nor officially acknowledged. A perfect candidate to be Master Thomas's apprentice in all ways but one: the Royal College of Sorcerers has never admitted a girl before.

But even before Lady Gwendolyn Crichton can begin her training, London is plunged into chaos by a campaign of terrorist attacks coordinated by Jack, a powerful and rebellious magician.

fantastic storyline.

fantastic storyline of rags to riches and Riches to rags with a dash of equality and a plethora of magic.

As always the narration by Zara Jane Naqvi was exemplary and thoroughly entertaining.

The magical fight scenes were epic!

Was blown away with how good this book was. It had the right amount of magic to story and the fight scenes were epic in scale! This would make an amazing movie!

narration is terrible

I did not finish this book because I couldn't listen to the narrator any more. Too bad because I think the story had potential although it might be for young adults or children.

Awful narration.

I'm have listened to many of the authors books but the narration of the book just put me off and eventually I stopped listening.
