Mundane Magic

Magic exists.


Hidden within the world, disguised as mundane gifts and talents, it rests. Though not wholly dormant, for the most part it has gone unnoticed. Until now. Now, one man is trying to change that: to fight for a world where mages can be open about their powers and the world can accept them for what they are.


But trying to change people never goes smoothly, and the best intentions can fall away in the face of fear. Thomas Braddock has gone from hopeful revolutionary to wanted fugitive in a matter of days, earning the wrath of the British Army and their magical allies. For Braddock's power is to be impenetrable, the ultimate defender; and the only thing that can pierce a magical shield is more magic.


Of course, it is not that simple. Nothing is ever that simple. And for the young servant whose power holds the key to defeating Braddock, there are some difficult decisions to be made. Because Odette is not destined to defeat him – there is no prophecy that binds her life to his. She has a choice.


And she doesn't want to become a murderer.


Mundane Magic is Rebecca Milton's debut novel about what it means to be special.
