The secret mirror

In 19th-century England, magic can change history. Lady Victoria Mansfield, Tory, is destined for a enchanted life and a host of suitors worthy of her. Until a frightening discovery threatens to ruin her life and tarnish her family's name forever: her blood is tainted... by magic. When a terrible accident forces Tory to reveal her magical powers, she is immediately exiled to a reformatory for young people with the terrifying gift of magic. The girl's greatest wish is to be cured, return home, and perhaps regain some of her shattered life. Instead, however, curiosity and a sense of magic lead her to join rebellious students, who have resolved to use their magical powers to protect England. Participating in their secret studies, she discovers the full extent of her powers and finds herself drawn to the charming and enigmatic Marquis de Allarde. Though she can see the desire in his eyes, a terrifying secret keeps him at bay. Could Tory's choice bring her closer to Allarde, despite everything that stands between them?
