Rebecca could control Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, so why was the rest of her life spinning out of control?Finally awarded her rightful rank as Master Full Wright, Rebecca would just as soon get on with repairing the damage to her shop and return to normal life. But the Queen has gotten it in her craw that Rebecca should start a school for female Wrights—something beyond the Guild’s imagination, and therefore a threat to the world's natural order. But with orders from the Queen and a wealthy patron footing the bill, what choice has she but to become a school mistress? As Guild Secretary, Master Full Wright David Enright’s hands are full. The Guild Master expects him to help identify students for Rebecca’s school, handle the disgruntled traditionalists, and marry Rebecca as soon as possible. But between Rebecca’s flame-tamer’s temper and the Guild’s hidebound elders, David can’t make headway on anything, even what he most wants for himself, pursuing Rebecca. With the Guild divided about the legitimacy of female Wrights, the prospect of a school to train them turns the disgruntled Wrights desperate. The disenfranchised faction is ready to do anything to stop the school, to stop Rebecca, to stop anything that looks like change. But since the Wrights face extinction if they don’t join the modern age, David and Rebecca have little choice but to use everything at their disposal to get them on the Wright path. An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen's Dragons perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.
Author

Six time BRAG Medallion Honoree, #1 Best-selling Historical Fantasy author Maria Grace has her PhD in Educational Psychology and is a 16-year veteran of the university classroom where she taught courses in human growth and development, learning, test development and counseling. None of which have anything to do with her undergraduate studies in economics/sociology/managerial studies/behavior sciences. She pretends to be a mild-mannered writer/cat-lady, but most of her vacations require helmets and waivers or historical costumes, usually not at the same time. She stumbled into Jane Austen fan-dom in the mid '90s with Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility film, having somehow graduated HS without ever having read Austen. It was only a short leap then to consume all of Austen's works, in all their various media forms. In the hopes of discovering more works by Austen, she stumbled into the fan fiction forums, which naturally led to asking 'What if...' herself. Twenty nine books later, she still asks that question. She writes gaslamp fantasy, historical romance and non-fiction to help justify her research addiction.
