To save the family from financial ruin, one of Kat's sisters contemplates a loveless marriage while the other casts spells to summon a beau for herself. Tomboy Kat comes up with her own plans for her sisters' suitors after discovering that her late mother’s mirror admits her to a society of magic Guardians. A spunky heroine, lots of magic, and Regency romance conventions give this story plenty of zest.
