On Lady Truthful "Newt" Newington's eighteenth birthday, her inheritance--an enormous magical emerald--disappears during a conjured storm. Assisted by her sorceress great-aunt, Ermintrude, and her introduction to proper London society, Newt dresses as a man to find the emerald. Nix mixes traditional regency romance, magic, and adventure for a witty, fast-paced romp.
