Forbidden Magic

2017

It’s 1772, and all of Olivia Amberson’s dreams seem to have come true. At eighteen years old, she’s an accomplished magical Guardian and a secret witch, with a love spell that’s made her unlikely betrothal wonderfully secure…until it all comes crashing down around her in a mass of scandal and humiliation. Now, with her reputation and her magical vocation both lost, it’s time to save her remaining honor by telling her fiancé the truth – but it will take more magic than she’s ever known to create a happy ending. A 4400-word short story prequel to the Kat, Incorrigible series, to be published as an ebook on April 5, 2017. Note: this story may not work well for anyone who hasn’t read at least one of the Kat, Incorrigible books!

But with her eldest sister Elissa's intended fiancé, the sinister Sir Neville, showing a dangerous interest in Kat's magical potential; her other sister, Angeline, wreaking romantic havoc with her own witchcraft; and a highwayman lurking in the forest, even Kat's reckless heroism will be tested to the upmost.

Dueling Magics

2013

Regency England's most magically mischievous twelve-year-old returns in this witty short story of sisterly rivalry. Kat will do almost anything to escape a tedious shopping trip with Stepmama and her sisters...but when she ends up in a magical duel of wits with her older sister Angeline, no one can predict the results! This short story is set a few months after the events of Kat, Incorrigible, and just a few weeks before the novel Renegade Magic begins.

Renegade Magic

2011

Is Kat’s untrained magic strong enough to prove she has what it takes to be a true Guardian? Find out in this second book of Stephanie Burgis’s Regency-era fantasy trilogy. Nowhere in England is safe from the mischief and magic of Kat Stephenson. With her eldest sister finally married, it seems things are settling down for Kat. But when a scandalous accusation threatens her second sister Angeline’s prospects, Stepmama swiftly whisks the family away to Bath in an attempt to outrun the gossip and engage Angeline to a respectable suitor. Meanwhile, Kat’s utter lack of ladylike propriety has prompted the powerful Lord Ravenscroft to expel her from the Order of Guardians before her training has even begun! Anger and exile aside, Kat knows something is not quite right about Lord Ravenscroft. And when her foolish brother Charles unwittingly invokes the furious force of Sulis Minerva at the King’s and Queen’s Baths, endangering vulnerable cousin Lucy and himself in the process, it’s up to Kat to rescue her family, find Angeline a proper husband, and prove she has the true dignity of a Guardian.

Courting Magic

2014

In Kat Stephenson's Regency England, magic is even more shocking than a stolen kiss. But now that she's eighteen, it's time for wild and magical Kat to be introduced to high society by her older sisters, whether she likes it or not...and to finally have a romance of her own! Of course, her true love is hopelessly ineligible. But when has Kat ever let Society's opinion stop her from making up her own mind? Once she realizes she's found her perfect match, she's not going to let anything or anyone stand in their way - even if she does have to solve a magical mystery, matchmake for an old friend, and break a few rules along the way!

Flying Magic

2016

A (very) short story set 25 years after the book Kat, Incorrigible. Now a full-grown woman, Kat is used to directing and defeating powerful magic-users of all descriptions...but managing her own wild and magical children may prove to be her most difficult mission yet! Note: this short story does NOT stand alone. It is intended as a gift for readers of the Kat, Incorrigible trilogy and its followup YA novella, Courting Magic.

Olivia, Invisible

A Kat, Incorrigible Story

2019

Kat, Incorrigible is all grown up, with magical children of her own...but what will happen when Kat's own wildest daughter is left for a week with her oh-so-proper (and magic-hating) Grandmother Stephenson? This sparkling short story is set many years after the Kat, Incorrigible trilogy and Courting Magic and just a few years after the short story "Flying Magic." However, it should also work as a standalone for new readers to discover Kat (and Olivia's) madcap, magical Regency world.
