Description

Two sisters fight with manners, magic, and mayhem to reclaim their family’s name, in this captivating historical fantasy adventure.

House Mederos was once the wealthiest merchant family in Port Saint Frey. Now the family is disgraced, impoverished, and humbled by the powerful Merchants Guild. Daughters Yvienne and Tesara Mederos are determined to uncover who was behind their family's downfall and get revenge. But Tesara has a secret – could it have been her wild magic that caused the storm that destroyed the family's merchant fleet? The sisters’ schemes quickly get out of hand – gambling is one thing, but robbing people is another…

Together the sisters must trust each another to keep their secrets and save their family.

“Patrice Sarath gives us a colorful Dickensian fantasy that leads the reader on an unpredictable path of murder, intrigue, and mystery, served up with her customary lively characterizations and pitch-perfect dialogue. It’s a tale of magic lost and recovered, fortunes made and squandered, and broken lives healed, all of it engineered by Yvienne and Tesara, two resourceful and delightful protagonists, in the company of some charming and often dangerous sidekicks.”

Featured Reviews

This book was entertaining. Robbery, gambling, cross-dressing, and a bit of magic. The sisters Yvienne and Tesara Mederos are two very different, very smart girls up to no good, and their largely separate hi-jinks make for a fun story in which everything comes together in the end.

The world building was sufficient unto the telling of the tale; that is, fine but a little generic and not terribly memorable. The same could be said for some of the rest, particularly in regards to how the magic was integrated (or not). Apart from the magic, this book would have felt more like "fantasy of manners" except without the wit that one usually finds in that subgenre. Instead, it's rather straight-faced. Really, it could have used that injection of wit.

I am interested in reading the sequel. I would like to see what happens if the sisters start working together openly.
