Frocks and Fairy Dust: Regency Fantasy Romances You'll Love

The world is split into parts: The mortal one, or the world of the Mundanes; the Nether world, a twisted mirror image of our own world; and that of the Fae. Maintaining the uneasy peace between them is the Split Worlds Treaty. 

Max, an Arbiter of the treaty, is tasked with tracking down the Master of Ceremonies who has gone missing on the eve of a new season in Aquae Sulis, Bath’s secret mirror city. There is a witness to his disappearance, but the crucial memories have been bound in magic by a mysterious enemy. Someone wants the barrier between the split worlds to crumble, but why?

When a stranger offers her a small fortune to break into a traveling magician’s wagon, Kim says yes without a second thought. She's an old hand at breaking and entering thanks to a hard life on the streets of London. You steal from the rich before they steal from you, but when the magician catches her in the act, Kim thinks she’s done for. What she doesn't expect is for him to invite her to become his magical apprentice.

Jane Ellsworth is a woman ahead of her time, a powerful figure in a world where eligible ladies must wield glamor like a weapon. Magic is a part of everyday life for Jane but she and her sister Melody still need to find a husband the old-fashioned way. 

At the ripe old age of 28, she's considered an old maid. But when her family’s honor is threatened, she finds that she must push her skills to the limit in order to set things right. Revenge soon makes way for the love story she's always wanted.

Persephone Leland is ready for her first season but she'd rather stay at home and complete her secret magic studies than find a suitable husband. Eligible bachelors don't have much patience for women who want careers in the mystical arts. Before she can make her debut, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. 

Together, they'll need to fight for the fate of the crown by themselves. Perhaps she'll find a husband along the way: There's a mysterious and handsome Irish wizard who won't leave her alone…

Zacharias Wythe is a freed slave, trained magician, and Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers, one of the most respected organizations throughout all of the British Empire. His latest job requires him to travel to the borders that separate the human world from Fairyland and discover why England’s magical stocks are drying up. 

The journey will lead him down a treacherous road alongside an unexpected partner that could alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain.

In the midst of the Napoleonic wars, the battles between Britain and France are waged on the high seas and in the airs above thanks to the aerial corps and their dragon warriors. When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes the precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, they know it could be the tipping point to helping them win the fight. 

Nobody expected the egg to hatch and the young dragon, Temeraire, to imprint upon Captain Will Laurence. The pair, forever entwined, are thrust into the midst of an almighty battle where more than their lives are at stake.

Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has been living with only half a soul. She now has no sense of fear or embarrassment, which makes her very prone to social drama. All she wants during the latest London season is to keep a low profile. 

But then she becomes the fascination of the strange and unconventional Elias Wilder, Lord Sorcier, and she is instead drawn into dangerous and peculiar faerie affairs. There may be a way to break the curse, but perhaps Elias will be able to prove she doesn't need a whole soul to fall in love.

Charles Legris has spent years living among mortals in London and Paris. As a disgraced elf-lord with a nearly unlimited supply of fairy gold and impeccable glamor skills, he's certainly had his fun doing his exile. 

When the term of his banishment draws to a close, he and his sister Odile move to Hawkmere, a forbidding mansion on the boundary with Elfland, where he can wait out his time before his victorious return home. Here, he teaches dancing to a unique coterie of students, including Alfie, a possible if unlikely heir to the British throne, and his soon-to-be fiancée Odette. 

The boundaries between human and the elvish are there for a reason, however, and soon Legris must find a way to stop his new human friends from becoming trapped in a twisted fairy-tale.
