The last thing Agatha Tremain wants to do is leave her solitary study of magic behind to make a glittering social début in London. When she's forced into town by her sinister aunt, though, she discovers she's not the only girl who doesn't fit in there - and everything she's ever believed about magic may be wrong. A witty, romantic f/f YA Victorian fantasy novelette about a girl determined to claim her own power...and the unexpected romance that she finds along the way! Previously published as "The Unladylike Education of Agatha Tremain" in the anthology Willful Impropriety: 13 Tales of Society, Scandal and Romance and in Inscription Magazine.

I grew up in America, but now I live in Wales with my husband, fellow writer Patrick Samphire, our two sons, and our sweet (and extremely vocal) tabby cat, Pebbles. I write fun MG fantasy adventure novels (most recently The Raven Crown duology) and wildly romantic adult historical fantasy novels and novellas (most recently Claws and Contrivances and Good Neighbors). To get early sneak peeks at new stories and novels, sign up for my newsletter here: stephanieburgis.com/newsletter. To join my Dragons' Book Club and get early copies of every ebook that I put out myself (so, all of my novellas, short story ebooks, etc!), check out my Patreon page, where I also published a series of fantasy rom-coms (Good Neighbors) across 2020-2021. I only rate and review the books that I like, which is why all of my ratings are 4 or 5 stars.
