Publisher's summary

Used as a pawn all her life, this young mage is about to take control of the game....

Seraphina Winyard is something feared by many…a woman mage. When she comes of age, Sera is determined to seize control of her life, but she faces opposition from an unknown opponent. This set contains:

1. Opening Gambit

When her former guardian is murdered, suspicion falls on Sera. She must discover how to wield her power to find the true murderer before her leash is replaced by a noose. But the deeper she digs, the more she discovers she is a pawn in someone else’s game.

2. A Dangerous Ruse

Seraphina continues to pick at the secrets entangling her. When a dangerous bracelet goes missing, she gathers her friends to investigate. They need to stop the person responsible before another life is lost. Meanwhile, the Mage Council plots to corner Seraphina using the oldest tool they have—forcing her into submission.

3. Shadow Schemes

After her triumph as Queen of the Night, Sera is instructed to stay out of public sight by the Mage Council. She is tasked with settling a restless spirit, roused by the fate of a descendant and her missing child. As Sera struggles to reveal the truth, doubts invade her mind. Will her efforts see the mother walk free, or to the gallows?

A gaslamp series that weaves magic and supernatural mystery through history in an alternate 18th century.

Loving this series!

I found this series because I love the narrator Marian Hussey. I don’t understand why the rest of the series isn’t on Audible (you can get them via the author’s website though). The series reminds me of Glass and Steele series with a bit of Discovery of Witches- so rather perfect in my book!

exceptional stories

Tilly Wallace is one of the best story tellers I've heard in years. I highly recommend everything she writes.

Exceptional!!!!

Exceptional!!!! If you love Tilly's other books, you will not be disappointed. Could not stop listening to the story. This is one you will not put down.

love the twist and turns

I really hope we are going to get more in this series . I want Kitty's story next .

Captivating

Cannot wait for more stories about female heroes and how they were successful in defeating the dangers surrounding their existence

Fun

There’s always a mystery afoot for these characters. A fun listen and enjoyable stories. Now we need the next 3 books to find out if Sara chooses Hugh!

Excellent story with a great narrator

I ADORE the monsters and manners series and Tilly Wallace did NOT disappoint. I cannot wait for book four and hopefully more!
Such a well-written strong realistic female protagonist. I love the combination of magic, mystery, come uppets for wrongdoers, and bucking tradition...even when tradition must be observed. Read this, you will not regret the time spent getting to know this cast of characters.

Exceptional

These books are well written. I was sad when they were over and devoured the rest of this author’s books that are not on audible.

Very Good

I really enjoyed this series and I can’t wait to listen to the other books

Great story

I didn’t think I’d love Sera’s story as much as Hannah’s but I might love it more!! Great series. Mystery with actual characters you root for. Marian Hussey was fabulous as always. I actually found Tilly Wallace by searching for books Marian narrates for, and I’m so glad I did. My one very very very minor criticism is the use of the phrase “in her veins”. It’s always magic in her veins, magic coursing through her veins, rage throughout her veins, etc. it is such a minor criticism though because honestly I listened to this 3 book collection in less than one weekend. It’s fabulous.
