Sorcerer to the Crown

Set in a whimsical, yet stratified, Regency London, "Sorcerer to the Crown" introduces Zacharias Wythe, England's first African Sorcerer Royal. Burdened by the immense responsibility of leading the Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers, Zacharias faces both external threats from a malicious faction seeking his removal and a looming magical crisis: England's vital magical stores are dwindling, actively blocked by the elusive Fairy Court. Meanwhile, the ambitious orphan Prunella Gentleman languishes at a school, dreaming of a life beyond drudgery. When Zacharias visits, Prunella seizes the opportunity, having just stumbled upon England's most significant magical discovery in centuries. Her intelligence and unconventional approach to sorcery challenge the rigid traditions of the Society. As their paths intertwine, Zacharias and Prunella, two outsiders in a world steeped in prejudice and arcane rules, must navigate political intrigue, racial bias, and ancient magical mysteries. Together, their combined talents and unique perspectives could not only rescue England's magic but fundamentally redefine the very nature of sorcery across the realm, ultimately forging a new future for magic and society alike.
