There is a story of a beast, and a merchant's daughter, and a curse
that must be broken. This is not--quite--that story. Amber Gryce
believes in magic the way anyone does: as a thing of the past,
marked now only by the long reign of an ancient queen sworn to live
until her stolen son is returned to her. Such stories are romantic
but distant for Amber, surrounded by family and wealth. But like
magic, wealth can disappear. Left destitute, Amber's family
retreats to a forest holding far from their city home, where
Amber's love of roses leads her into the heart of enchantment, and
draws her into a retelling of the tale as old as time....
It is a truth universally accepted that well-bred members of
Society are not beleaguered with magic. For Elsabeth Dover and her
sisters, that truth means living in a perpetual state of caution,
never using their sorcerous gifts in public. Elsabeth chafes under
the stricture, but not enough to risk the possibility of good
marriages for her sisters...until she meets handsome, arrogant
Fitzgerald Archer. Elsabeth, attracted to Archer's wit and offended
by his manner, strives to keep her youngest, impetuous sister's use
of magic in check so that their eldest sister, Rosamund, might find
happiness with Archer's wealthy friend Mr Webber. But when Elsa
fails to keep young Leopoldina in line, Archer's disapproval of the
family taint means an abrupt end to Rosamund's hopes, and leads to
a terrible discovery about the price of magic....
