    Clandestine Magic Series

    Written by Colleen Cowley

    Narrated by Leanne Woodward

    About this series

    A wizard. An unwilling assistant. An explosive secret.

    In an America controlled by wizards and 100 years behind on women's rights, Beatrix Harper counts herself among the resistance—the Women's League for the Prohibition of Magic. Then Peter Blackwell, the only wizard her town has ever produced, unexpectedly returns home and presses her into service as his assistant.

    Beatrix fears he wants to undermine the League. His real purpose is far more dangerous for them both.

    This box set includes the complete Clandestine Magic trilogy: Subversive, Radical and Revolutionary. The romantic fantasy series, set in an Edwardian-feeling 21st century, appeals to fans of gaslamp fantasy, fighting the patriarchy, intrigue and slow-burn romance with some steam.

    If you're a reader who prefers to know certain information upfront, including content warnings and whether any tropes you hate are waiting to spring, find those at the author's website.


    Praise for the trilogy

    "Clandestine Magic is the type of series that you think about long after you finish it, and Revolutionary is a wonderfully satisfying conclusion." — One Book More

    "It feels more like I’m closing a chapter on my life, as though I’m saying goodbye to friends, and less like I’m simply closing a book. The trilogy is a highlight of my very bookish year." — itsKoo Reviews

    "The story had me on the figurative edge of my seat, unable to get even close to guessing what would happen next. . ... The only bad thing about this book is that it had to end." — Life in the Book Lane Reviews

      Women have no ability to cast spells. That’s what wizards have said for generations—and it’s a lie. Beatrix Harper wants to expose it to protect her sister’s life. Her desperate plan: Train tens of thousands of women in secret, then shock the nation with a display of their magic. She thinks it will work—if only she can keep the details from her town’s wizard, Peter Blackwell. But that’s nearly impossible thanks to their unwanted magical connection. As their Vows tie them ever more tightly together, Peter is never more than a step behind her. Stopping her is nearly as important to him as countering the terrible weapon he wishes he hadn't invented. What happens when two desperate plans collide? Radical is the second novel in the completed Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in an Edwardian-feeling 21st century America that appeals to fans of gaslamp fantasy, fighting the patriarchy, intrigue and slow-burn romance with some steam. If you're a reader who prefers to know certain information upfront, find that information on the author's website. One scene in the book includes a character discussing a past trauma, and the site has more specifics. Praise for Radical “I flew through it and was left wanting more. … The Clandestine Magic books get me knotted up with tension and drag me in completely.” — Delighted Reader "Secrets, lies, and betrayal are abundant in the story, and just when you think you know what's going to happen, Cowley stuns you with an unexpected and shocking twist. ... I couldn't put the book down, and I can't wait for the final book in the trilogy!" — One Book More "The discoveries made, the secrets revealed, the implication of the vows and of using magic, there is just so much packed into these pages. ... I hugely recommend giving the series a try." — Life in the Book Lane Reviews

      Can she save him from the dark magic that's killing him? Beatrix Harper knows now that she loves Omnimancer Peter Blackwell—the insidious Vows that ensnared them are gone. But if she can't untangle the new enchantment trapping him in a coma, he'll never wake again. As if that wasn't enough, the fate of women's rights in her repressive country rests on her shoulders. Once blissfully anonymous, she's now in the crosshairs of wizards willing to do anything—anything—to maintain the status quo. Perhaps most dangerous of all is Beatrix's former best friend, a powerful witch who nearly killed Peter. She's out there somewhere. At any moment, she could strike again. As resourceful as Beatrix is, that's too many disasters to handle. How can she protect everyone and everything she cares about with wizards bearing down on her and a rogue witch closing in? Revolutionary is the final novel in the Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in an Edwardian-feeling 21st century America that appeals to fans of gaslamp fantasy, fighting the patriarchy, intrigue and slow-burn romance with some steam.
