Murder Among Mages | Carolyn McBride | Fantasy of Manners (NT) (I) (F)
In a city where magic is both a gift and a burden, there exists a library tucked away in an opulent, ancient manor. Zimmerman House. A mage named Elara stumbles upon this manor after losing her mentor to murder. She is given the opportunity of a lifetime in exchange for silence and dedication to a woman claiming to be an ancient goddess. Their magical world is a combination of England’s aristocracy & manners, and our modern world of technological wonders. Dangerous, dirty, and full of secrets. Bridgerton meets modernity -- a murder mystery mixed with magic. Elara is tasked with unearthing her former mentor’s killer. The sentient Zimmerman library challenges her understanding of right and wrong, forcing her to question the nature of sacrifice and the true meaning of loss. In the end, Elara must confront the ultimate question as she faces her mentor’s murderer: Is the power to rewrite fate worth the price of losing one's humanity?
