Summary (from Goodreads):
Lady Victoria Mansfield, youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess
of Fairmount, is destined for a charmed life. Soon she will be presented during
the London season, where she can choose a mate worthy of her status.
Yet Tory has a shameful secret—a secret so powerful that, if exposed,
it could strip her of her position and disgrace her family forever. Tory’s
blood is tainted…by magic. When a shocking accident forces Tory to demonstrate
her despised skill, the secret she’s fought so hard to hide is revealed for all
to see. She is immediately exiled to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for young
men and women in her position. There she will learn to suppress her deplorable
talents and maybe, if she’s one of the lucky ones, be able to return to
society.
But Tory’s life is about to change forever. All that she’s ever known
or considered important will be challenged. What lies ahead is only the
beginning of a strange and wonderful journey into a world where destiny and
magic come together, where true love and friendship find her, and where courage and strength of character
are the only things that determine a young girl’s worth.
Ohhh…I found this book on Goodreads
and it sounds really good. History and magic, two of my favorite things. Can’t
wait to read it.
