In 1828, English cousins Cecelia and Kate and their husbands search for a missing German railway engineer and with the help of their wizardry skills, uncover a plot that could endanger the unity of England.
Medieval English tricksters John Dee and Ned Kell, as well as the queen of Faerie, play key roles in a new version of the classic fairytale about two sisters and the enchanted prince they befriend.
Eighteen-year-old Eff must finally get over believing she is bad luck and accept that her special training in Aphrikan magic, and being the twin of the seventh son of a seventh son, give her extraordinary power to combat magical creatures that threaten settlements on the western frontier.
When Eff learns of a new expedition to chart the unknown Far West, she eagerly signs on. As she travels, she not only learns more about her own magical skills, but encounters a threat that, if not stopped, could destroy the entire continent.
