Mary Bennet and the Wickham Artifact

Ancient magic is the worst kind of magic.

Mary Bennet, bluestocking spinster, is settling in happily to her new life as an apprentice magician. Her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner may think she’s at the British Museum helping an eminent history professor, but in fact she’s deep in the museum’s basements, learning magic at the Order of Saint George.

But when Mary’s sister Lydia and her scapegrace husband Wickham join the family, they bring havoc in their wake. Wickham, gravely wounded at the Battle of Waterloo, credits a good luck charm with saving his life.

But Mary recognizes the mysterious amulet as a dangerous magical talisman. Her attempt to render the sinister artifact harmless backfires spectacularly, and now an ancient evil is loose in London.

The most powerful battle mages of the Order have failed to stop this new force, so what can the Order’s newest and greenest apprentice possibly do? Mary only knows that she has to stop this newly awakened menace… or die trying.

Mary Bennet and the Wickham Artifact is the second book of the Regency Mage series, following Mary Bennet and the Bingley Codex. If you enjoy Jane Austen, Harry Potter, and Georgette Heyer, you’ll love Mary Bennet and the Wickham Artifact because it blends Regency comedy of manners and fantasy high adventure.
