Sinopsis

This YA fantasy “combines one of the most creative magical systems since Harry Potter, with sizzling romance and characters who will win your heart” (Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times–bestselling author of the Seven Realms series). 
 
Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's been told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of the Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the most powerful tyrant and mage the world has ever known. This would be a suicide task for anyone, let alone a reluctant sixteen-year-old girl with no training. 
 
Guided by his mother's visions and committed to avenging his family, Prince Titus has sworn to protect Iolanthe even as he prepares her for their battle with the Bane. But he makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the tyrant closing in, Titus must choose between his mission—and her life. 
 
“A vividly realized fantasy world.” —School Library Journal

“A wonderfully satisfying magical saga.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

    'A captivating blend of fact and fiction. This fascinating story transports the reader back in time' People's Friend
    1927. Transatlantic flight fever grips the globe.
    The Honourable Miss Elsie Mackay, glamorous ex-film star turned bold aviator, sets her sights on becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. Her friend Stella Campbell once felt at the heart of world events, but post-war hopes are frayed and marriage and motherhood have worn away her sense of self. Meanwhile, Stella's sister Corran, a determinedly single academic, or so it seems, keeps her emotions tightly guarded - until hidden truths begin to surface.
    For these intertwined lives, a daring journey and an uncertain future lies ahead in the landscape of a rapidly changing world.
