A gentleman pretending to be useless. A lady pretending to be proper. And a stolen invention everyone wants.
An SPFBO 11 Finalist, Of Mages and Makers (Mage Maker Book 1) is a steampunk romantic fantasy set in a vibrant world with magic, manners, witty banter, some lighthearted thievery, and a swoon-worthy Scarlet Pimpernel! Perfect for fans of India Holton's The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels and Charlie N. Holmberg's The Paper Magician.
Mr. Art Keays has one goal in life: to appear as useless as possible. But when his sister recklessly unveils a dangerous new invention at the Maker Exhibitions, an elite competition for the coveted title of Maker, and her blueprints are stolen, Art is forced to intervene or risk losing everything he pretends not to care about. With an unwelcome mage looking over his shoulder and a looming timeline to find and return the blueprints to the queen, all clues point to a suspicious carriage conveying a most delightful obstacle.
Miss Audrey Clune longs to be Robin Renegade, the fearless heroine from the old adventure stories. In real life, however, her choices are rather limited. Before accepting a sudden proposal from the man of her grandmother's choosing, Audrey sets out on one last journey to visit her beloved aunt. But when her carriage is ambushed by two mysterious highwaymen, she embraces a novel world of industry and magic with opportunity for adventure far greater than she imagined.
As both Audrey and Art playact different roles in society, the honest truth is a precious commodity, especially when dangerous secrets come to light and power has terrible consequences.
Of Mages and Makers is perfect for readers who love:
Witty banter - Charming characters - Mistaken identity - Cozy fantasy - Secondary worlds - Sweet romance
