Courtship & Curses by Marissa Doyle

Courtship & Curses by Marissa Doyle

From the author of Bewitching Season and Betraying Season comes a brand new regency romance with plenty of intrigue--and magic

Sophie's entrance into London society isn't what she thought it would be: Mama isn't there to guide her. Papa is buried in his work fighting Napoleon. And worst of all, the illness that left her with a limp, unable to dance at the Season's balls, also took away her magic. When the dashing Lord Woodbridge starts showing an interest in Sophie, she wants to believe it's genuine, but she can't be sure he's feeling anything more than pity.
Sophie's problems escalate when someone uses magic to attack Papa at the Whistons' ball and it soon becomes clear that all the members of the War Office are being targeted. Can Sophie regain her own powers, find her balance, make a match--and save England?

Even princesses' best laid plots may go astray...terribly, very bad. Saraid of Thekla, seventeen years old, is on her way to marry the ruler of Mauburni, a country far away. She isn't sobbing into her silk-curtained litter, though, at the prospect of leaving home since she has plans--and The Book. She's spent months studying this ancient treatise on kingship in order to become the ideal queen for her new realm. Her new husband will fall passionately in love with her once he sees that.

It will be perfect. She's well aware of it. Nevertheless, The Book is mute on what to do when a mysterious young warlord stops one's trip over a cursed desert wasteland. Cadel has his own plans, which do not entail her visiting Mauburni.

Saraid will have to put The Book aside as she unravels his secrets and rely on her own wisdom--and her heart--to navigate the hazardous shoals of politics and power and become the queen she aspires to be.
