Theodore Burnett has never been a hero. He prefers comfort to combat-spells, and jam-slathered scones to muddy boots. Fortunately, as the youngest-ever head librarian at the Royal College of Wizardry, Theo can spend his days with books and bibliomancy in place of battle-magic or politics -- and in any case Napoleonâs been defeated and the warâs been won. But now thereâs a wounded captain of the Magiciansâ Corps in Theoâs library. And he needs Theoâs help. And Theo can never resist a mystery, especially when that mysteryâs tall and tempting and handsome. Captain Henry Tourmaline, formerly of His Majestyâs Army and the Magiciansâ Corps, requires assistance. Heâs returned to London with scars on his body, soul, and heart -- war, after all, will do that to anyone. But one of those scars refuses to heal, a curse thatâs slowly draining Henryâs magic and eventually his life. The physicians have no answers, so Henry turns to the Collegeâs books ... and the Collegeâs attractive head librarian. But the curse is unpredictable, and the last thing Henry wants is to drag someone else into the line of fire, particularly someone as kind and innocent and brilliant as Theo. Theo wants to save Henry. Henry wants to keep Theo safe. Together, perhaps they can do both ... while uncovering a perilous secret behind a spell, a deadly puzzle in the archives, and their own heartâs desires.
