A Matter of Magic by Patricia Wrede
When a stranger offers her a small fortune to break into a traveling magician's wagon, Kim doesn't hesitate. Having grown up a waif in the dirty streets of London, Kim isn't above a bit of breaking-and-entering. A hard life and lean times have schooled her in one lesson: steal from them before they steal from you. But when the magician catches her in the act, Kim thinks she's done for, until he suggests she become his apprentice; then the real trouble begins. Kim soon finds herself entangled with murderers, thieves, and cloak-and-dagger politics, all while trying to learn how to become both a proper lady and a magician in her own right. Magic and intrigue go hand in hand in "Mairelon the Magician" and "The Magician's Ward", two fast-paced novels filled with mystery and romance, set against the intricate backdrop of Regency England.
"Delightful...Will charm readers." - Publishers Weekly on Mairelon the Magician "A successful blend of Regency romance and historical fantasy in this lighthearted romp that should appeal to fans of both genres." - Library Journal on Mairelon the Magician"
