First, she fell into a magical portal. Then she fell for him.

Nora Fischer never meant to stumble into another world. Here she finds endless glamour, rivers of fairy wine - and the dangerously charming Raclin.

Only too late does she realise she's been bewitched into a marriage she can't escape. Her only hope lies with Aruendiel, the brooding magician sworn to be her enemy, who offers to teach her real magic.

Torn between two men, one who deceived her, and one who challenges everything she believes, Nora must choose between passion, power, and a way home.

Rezensionen

A marvellous plot, clever dialogue, and complex characters distinguish The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic. With the intimacy of a classic fairy-tale and the rollicking elements of modern epic fantasy, Emily Croy Barker's delightful debut will sweep readers into another world. Fun, seductive, and utterly engrossing, this wonderful tale of magic and adventure is a perfect escape from humdrum reality Deborah Harkness, bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches
