In a Victorian-era world, magic is real and spells and potions are the focus of academic study. A debutante-turned-animal escapes her sheltered life. Civil servants adopt disguises and fall in love. An enigmatic magician stalks the capital's streets, tracked by a burgeoning police force. The books in the Roesia series can be read on their own, but readers may wish to start with Aubrey. Meet the erstwhile villain of the series as a villain first!
