Samenvatting

When Zacharias Wythe becomes England's first African Sorcerer Royal, he faces immediate challenge from those who would unseat him. But a new threat emerges, as the supply of magic declines. A treat for fans of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell and Georgette Heyer.

THE FATE OF ENGLISH MAGIC LIES IN THEIR HANDS In Regency London, Zacharias Wythe is England's first African Sorcerer Royal. But how can he enjoy his position, while a faction schemes to remove him? He's also haunted by his dead mentor's ghost and the Fairy Court is refusing to supply England with magic . . . just when the government demands it for their blasted French war. Ambitious orphan Prunella is determined to escape a life of drudgery. So when the beleaguered Sorcerer Royal visits the school where she works, she seizes her opportunity. Prunella's stumbled upon the greatest magical discovery in centuries - and intends to use it. The last thing Zacharias needs is a female magical prodigy! But together, they could change sorcery forever.

Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho is a delightfully fun and compelling Regency romp filled with love, danger and a pinch of fairyland magic.

'An enchanting cross between Georgette Heyer and Susanna Clarke' – Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted


In Regency London, Zacharias Wythe is England's first African Sorcerer Royal. He leads the eminent Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers, but a malicious faction seeks to remove him by fair means or foul. Meanwhile, the Society is failing its vital duty – to keep stable the levels of magic within His Majesty's lands. The Fairy Court is blocking its supply, straining England's dangerously declining magical stores.

Ambitious orphan Prunella Gentleman is desperate to escape the school where she's drudged all her life, and a visit by the beleaguered Sorcerer Royal seems the perfect opportunity. For Prunella has just stumbled upon English magic's greatest discovery in centuries - and she intends to make the most of it. Together, Zacharias and Prunella might just change the nature of sorcery, in Britain and beyond.

'Inventive, dangerous, brilliant, unsettling' – Courtney Milan, author of The Duchess War
