Two young Regency ladies with special powers must save the monarchy
Kate and Cecy and their new husbands, Thomas and James, are off on a Grand Tour. Their plans? To leisurely travel about the Continent, take in a few antiquities, and - of course - purchase fabulous Parisian wardrobes.
But once they arrive in France, mysterious things start to happen. Cecy receives a package containing a lost coronation treasure, Thomas's valet is assaulted, and Kate loses a glove. Soon it becomes clear that they have stumbled upon a dastardly, magical plot to take over Europe.
Now the four newlyweds must embark on a daring chase to thwart the evil conspiracy. And there's no telling the trouble they'll get into along the way. For when you mix Kate and Cecy and magic, you never know what's going to happen next!

The authors discussed how much fun they had developing these characters and the world in the first book of the series. Their enjoyment of writing this story is evident.
I enjoyed the first book more, partly because there were 2 stories happening in parallel. Each author linking the plot to their own characters in different locations allowed more conversations about sharing gossip and developing secondary characters. This story focuses more on the interaction of the main characters only. The shared events limited any side story arcs and characters. More development of the leading ladies and their approach to the same events worked well. I liked the relationship building, but I miss the snarkiness of the female-male fencing of the first book.
Very fun, enjoyable listen.
Wrede, Stevermer, and Rayner are a magnificent combination.

(Spoilers) I loved the “letter game” of book one but I do wish that book two would have ceased the tell vs show narrative. It would have been better if we were shown and not told what was going on. I also wish they had incorporated more actual magic. Wizards in this story seem to practice very subdued, seldom seen magic. I do love the focus on history, dialogue and world building but I do hope that book three highlights them wielding more magic! I’m an English major/aspiring writer and I NEVER have to look words up but some of the vocabulary delightfully stumped me! Always happy to learn new words. The writing is so intelligent and breath taking, def best for advanced readers, others may get frustrated. This one was a little slow moving compared to book one but I still adored hearing every word uttered!
I was glad to see the cousins in each other’s constant company this time. I wish we could have seen them bond more. Thomas and Kate are def my fav characters and couple! When she didn’t know where he was, I was beside myself along with her. I would like to see more between Cece and James too. There is a sprawling list of characters and at times it’s difficult to follow the part each plays in the story but it all comes together in the end. I’m American so maybe this story and reimagining of Napoleon would have entertained and intrigued me more if I was European. Still very well done! I’m hoping that Kate learns magic too!
I highly recommend this series to fantasy fans and those who enjoy this narrator and writers. Usually books written by more than one person are disastrous but this one is delightful. Enjoy the magic of Kate and Cece!
Adorable series!
