Publisher's Synopsis
A wizard. An unwilling assistant. An explosive secret.
In an America controlled by wizards and 100 years behind on women's rights, Beatrix Harper counts herself among the resistance-the Women's League for the Prohibition of Magic. Then Peter Blackwell, the only wizard her town has ever produced, unexpectedly returns home and presses her into service as his assistant.
Beatrix fears he wants to undermine the League. His real purpose is far more dangerous for them both.
Subversive is the first novel in the Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in a warped 21st century that will appeal to fans of romantic gaslamp fantasy. All three books will be released in the fall of 2020.
