Sense and Sensibility ... and Sorcery!

# Sense and Sensibility and Sorcery *Love is enchanting. Marriage is a transaction. And good breeding is no defense against dark magic.* **England, 1813.** A gentleman of considerable fortune is always desirable. A gentleman of considerable fortune *and* an ancient magical bloodline is practically irresistible. Welcome to Regency England as Jane Austen never imagined it—a world where aristocratic families guard forbidden grimoires, marriages unite powerful sorcerous bloodlines, and a young lady's prospects may depend as much upon her occult dowry as her beauty or accomplishments. Here, sorcery is governed by the strictest rules of polite society. A lady may enchant a teacup, but summoning a spirit without a chaperone is positively scandalous. A discreet glamour is perfectly respectable—provided nobody discovers it. And a gentleman who consults an oracle about his marriage prospects is considered terribly desperate. **But the real magic begins after the ball.** Behind closed doors, England's most prestigious families gather for exclusive séances, midnight rituals, and the exchange of secrets worth more than entire estates. An invitation can make your reputation. An indiscretion can destroy it. And beneath impeccable manners lurk ancient bargains, forbidden desires, and dangerous supernatural powers. Enter the glittering, treacherous world of the Dashwoods, the Ferrars, and their fashionable acquaintances. Pursue romance, cultivate your magical gifts, uncover family secrets, negotiate occult alliances, or scandalize the entire aristocracy. Will you marry for love, fortune, or forbidden knowledge? Become the darling of London's occult elite—or its most notorious disgrace? **Your name, your bloodline, your reputation. Your story.** *An open-ended Regency fantasy of romance, sorcery, scandal, and social intrigue, inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Featuring persistent relationships, independent characters, ancient occult mysteries, and an aristocracy in which the greatest power is knowing precisely when not to use magic.* **Do mind your manners. The spirits are watching.**
