A masterful sequel to Brittany N. Williams's stunning YA historical fantasy debut, That Self-Same Metal.

There's danger in the court of James I. Magical metal-worker Joan Sands must reforge the Pact between humanity and the Fae to stop the looming war. As conflict erupts across London and the murderous spymaster Robert Cecil closes in, the Fae queen Titanea coerces Joan into joining the royal court while holding her godfather prisoner in the infamous Tower of London.

Now Joan will have to survive deadly schemes both magical and mortal all while balancing the magnetic pull of her two loves, Rose and Nick, before the world as she knows it is destroyed forever.

Swashbuckling, romantic, and full of the sights and sounds of Shakespeare's London, this series delivers an unforgettable story and a heroine unlike any other.
