In this conclusion to the Regency-era fantasy trilogy Kirkus Reviews calls enjoyable mayhem, Kat is tasked with saving her family, the Order of the Guardians, and England itself.There is nothing in nineteenth-century England quite so improper as magic. With just days to go before her sister Angelines long-delayed wedding to Frederick Carlyle, the impetuous Kat Stephenson has resigned herself to good behavior. But Kats initiation into the magical Order of the Guardians is fast approaching, and trouble seems to follow her everywhere. First, Kat must contend with the wretched Mrs. Carlyles attempts to humiliate her sister; the arrival of the mysterious Marquise de Valmont, who bears suspicious resemblance to Kats late mother; and Fredericks bewitching cousin Jane, who has Charles Stephenson tripping over his feet. But when a menacing boy with powerful magic starts hunting Kat, a dastardly villain tries to kill Angeline, and the Guardians face a magical robbery that could spell the end of their Order, propriety becomes the least of Kats concerns. Can Kat save her sisters life, the Order of the Guardians, and England itself before its too late?
