Glamour in Glass

by Mary Robinette Kowal

2012 novel by Mary Robinette Kowal

MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL stunned readers with her charming first novel, Shades of Milk and Honey, a loving tribute tot he works of Jane Austen in a world where magic is an everyday occurrence. This magic comes in the form of glamour, which allows talented users to form practically any illusion they can imagine. Shades debuted to great acclaim and left readers eagerly awaiting its sequel. Glamour in Glass continues following the lives of beloved main characters Jane and Vincent, with a deeper vein of drama and intrigue.

In the tumultuous months after Napoleon abdicates his throne, Jane and Vincent go to Belgium for their honeymoon. While there, the deposed emperor escapes his exile in Elba, throwing the continent into turmoil. With no easy way back to England, Jane and Vincent's concerns turn from enjoying their honeymoon...to escaping it.

Left with no outward salvation, Jane must persevere over her trying personal circumstances and use her glamour to set things right...and hopefully prevent her newly built marriage from getting stranded on the shoals of another country's war.
