После окончания школы волшебства девятнадцатилетняя Сиони поступает в подмастерья к магу Эмери Тейну. И это назначение вызывает у нее бурю негодования: мало того что ее наставник живет у черта на куличках, так он еще и занимается никому не нужной Бумажной магией! Сиони же мечтает о стезе Плавильщицы и жизни в Лондоне. Но у девушки нет выбора: хочешь по-настоящему колдовать — соблюдай правила. Так и прозябала бы Сиони в деревенской глуши, если бы не жестокое нападение адептки темной магии на ее мастера. Сиони отправляется в погоню. Но много ли может вчерашняя выпускница магической школы против искусной Потрошительницы?!

Три месяца спустя после победы над Лирой-Потрошительницей Сиони Твилл все еще находится в плену своих чувств и пытается разбить незримый барьер между учеником и наставником, между ней и мужчиной ее мечты — магом Эмери Тейном, которого она спасла и буквально вернула ему сердце. Приспешники Лиры — самый жуткий маг Англии Грат Кобальт и колдун-маньяк Сарадж — начинают охоту на Сиони и ее учителя, пытаясь выведать тайну, открытие которой может разорвать саму ткань волшебного мира. Сиони должна попытаться разгадать свой магический секрет и не дать попасть ему в руки зла!

Незадолго до аттестации на звание мага Сиони Твилл узнает, что для большей объективности проводить испытание будет Притуин Бейли — враг ее наставника. Первая по успеваемости, теперь она должна сосредоточиться на занятиях, чтобы не опозориться на весь Лондон и стать настоящим Складывателем, как Бумажный Маг Эмери Тейн. А кроме экзамена, на горизонте снова маячит искусный преступник Сарадж Потрошитель...

Rhode Island, 1846. Estranged from his family, writer Merritt Fernsby is surprised when he inherits a remote estate in the Narragansett Bay. Though the property has been uninhabited for more than a century, Merritt is ready to call it home—until he realizes he has no choice. With its doors slamming shut and locking behind him, Whimbrel House is not about to let Merritt leave. Ever. Hulda Larkin of the Boston Institute for the Keeping of Enchanted Rooms has been trained in taming such structures in order to preserve their historical and magical significance. She understands the dangers of bespelled homes given to tantrums. She advises that it’s in Merritt’s best interest to make Whimbrel House their ally. To do that, she’ll need to move in, too. Prepared as she is with augury, a set of magic tools, and a new staff trained in the uncanny, Hulda’s work still proves unexpectedly difficult. She and Merritt grow closer as the investigation progresses, but the house’s secrets run deeper than they anticipated. And the sentient walls aren’t their only concern—something outside is coming for the enchantments of Whimbrel House, and it could be more dangerous than what rattles within.

The orphaned Elsie Camden learned as a girl that there were two kinds of wizards in the world: those who pay for the power to cast spells and those, like her, born with the ability to break them. But as an unlicensed magic user, her gift is a crime. Commissioned by an underground group known as the Cowls, Elsie uses her spellbreaking to push back against the aristocrats and help the common man. She always did love the tale of Robin Hood. Elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey is one elusive spell away from his mastership when he catches Elsie breaking an enchantment. To protect her secret, Elsie strikes a bargain. She’ll help Bacchus fix unruly spells around his estate if he doesn’t turn her in. Working together, Elsie’s trust in—and fondness for—the handsome stranger grows. So does her trepidation about the rise in the murders of wizards and the theft of the spellbooks their bodies leave behind. For a rogue spellbreaker like Elsie, there’s so much to learn about her powers, her family, the intriguing Bacchus, and the untold dangers shadowing every step of a journey she’s destined to complete. But will she uncover the mystery before it’s too late to save everything she loves?

Sandis has finally freed herself from her master and his plans to use her as a vessel for the ancient beast Kolosos. But her master has found a new, impossible vessel: Sandis’s brother, Anon—a brother she long thought dead. Kolosos is ancient, massive, and seemingly unbeatable. Fortunately, Sandis has her own monster—an ethereal fire horse that she can summon at will. In addition, she and Rone may have discovered the secret to defeating Kolosos: ancient lore that details the creation of magic. It could be the key to victory and the key to saving Anon. The price is steep, and Sandis is willing to pay it. Rone is not, and his attempt to save her only pulls them apart. As both are tested in ways they never expected, Sandis and Rone will need to determine the sacrifices they are willing to make. If their efforts are not enough, their city will fall…just as the ancient city beneath it already has.
