In this thrilling final installment of the Whimbrel House series from Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg, Cora and Owein must uncover magical and secret conspiracies in the palace as the future they dreamed of is at stake.

Owein arrives in England to marry Lady Cora of Leiningen, his dearest friend and confidante he’s known mostly through letters. However, Queen Victoria has other plans in store for the centuries-old wizard. The queen is obsessed with preserving magic, and she believes Owein is the key to pursuing her lofty ambitions.

Torn from his family, his home, and his betrothed, Owein is pushed into the Queen’s League of Magicians, where he learns the crown’s upheaval of his life is only the beginning of his problems. Meanwhile Cora must push aside her broken heart and use her own spells and resources to uncover truths the queen wants hidden.

As new threats, former loves, untapped spells, and even older souls than Owein collide, his next choice could be his last: forfeit his heart, body, and magic to the insidious machinations of the crown, or commit treason against it.
