El Londres de la Regencia, políticos y taumaturgos tratan de ocultar un secreto a voces: la magia inglesa está desapareciendo. El recién nombrado hechicero real, Zacharias Wythe, intentará recuperarla por todos los medios a pesar del desprecio de sus colegas por su condición de esclavo liberado. Tan solo Prunella intentará ayudarlo. Aunque, sinceramente, el destino de Inglaterra trae a Prunella sin cuidado. Sus objetivos son más cercanos y acuciantes: asegurarse una posición sin fortuna ni familia, y con un exceso de magia inaceptable en una mujer. Juntos deberán evitar un conflicto internacional inminente, el fin de la magia en Inglaterra y que sus propios secretos salgan a la luz.
