Description

In a brilliant mix of magic, history, and romance, M. K. Hobson moves her feisty young Witch, Emily Edwards, from the Old West of 1876 to turn-of-the-nineteenth-century New York City, whose polished surfaces conceal as much danger as anything west of the Rockies.
 
Like it or not, Emily has fallen in love with Dreadnought Stanton, a New York Warlock as irresistible as he is insufferable. Newly engaged, she now must brave Dreadnought's family and the magical elite of the nation's wealthiest city. Not everyone is pleased with the impending nuptials, especially Emily's future mother-in-law, a sociopathic socialite. But there are greater challenges still: confining couture, sinister Russian scientists, and a deathless Aztec goddess who dreams of plunging the world into apocalypse. With all they must confront, do Emily and Dreadnought have any hope of a happily-ever-after?

Hobson is also the author of The Native Star, and her short fiction has appeared in Realms of Fantasy, Fantasy & Science Fiction, Sci Fiction, Strange Horizons, Interzone, Postscripts, and many other publications.

Reviews

Praise for M. K. Hobson's The Native Star
 
"Engaging, atmospheric, and lovely . . . utterly absorbed me from start to finish." --Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless

"M. K. Hobson gives us a Reconstruction-era America, beautifully drawn and filled with the energy of a young nation--and magic! Her heroine, Emily Edwards, is outspoken, brash, loving, and true; a delight to spend time with. Could there be a sequel, please?"--Madeleine Robins, author of Point of Honour
 
"M. K. Hobson dazzles! The Native Star is an awesome mash-up of magic and steam-age technology--call it witchpunk. This debut novel puts a new shine on the Gilded Age."--C. C. Finlay, author of The Patriot Witch
