Sorcery & Cecelia: Or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (The Cecelia and Kate Novels Book 1)

Two cousins navigate magic and danger in Regency London. Kate and Cecelia have been inseparable since childhood, but in 1817 their families separate them for the summer. While Cecelia remains in her small country town, Kate travels to London to participate in the social season. At a ceremony inducting a powerful magician into the Royal College of Wizards, Kate encounters a mysterious witch who offers her a drink from a chocolate pot. When Kate refuses, the chocolate burns through her dress and the witch vanishes. Kate and Cecelia soon discover that strange forces are working to destroy a beloved wizard, and the cousins must work together to stop the plot. As they investigate, Kate and Cecelia must balance their efforts against the demands of their debuts, including selecting dresses and suitors. This edition includes illustrated biographies of Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer with rare photographs and previously unpublished documents from the authors' personal collections.
