Blood Rose Rebellion series.
After Anna (Blood Rose Rebellion) broke the Binding spell, supernatural creatures roam free in Europe. Meanwhile, Anna is still unsure of her chimera nature as well as the path she desires in a frustratingly unjust world. Bouncing from opulent Hapsburg-ruled Vienna to the bandit-controlled Hungarian backroads to the supernatural realm, this historical fantasy integrates beings from Eastern European and Slavic lore into its nineteenth-century setting. Author's note appended. Bib., glos.

In 1847 London, Anna is part of Luminate society--noble magic-users under tight political governance--but she cannot use magic herself; instead, she disrupts it by breaking spells. After unintentionally ruining her sister's debut, Anna leaves for revolutionary Hungary where she must negotiate those who would use her for rebellion. This historical fantasy takes on self-determination, classism, and bigotry in its period-appropriate narrative. Bib., glos.
