Stolen Magic
ByPublisher Description
In this conclusion to the Regency-era fantasy trilogy Kirkus Reviews calls “enjoyable mayhem,” Kat is tasked with saving her family, the Order of the Guardians, and England itself.
There is nothing in nineteenth-century England quite so improper as magic.
With just days to go before her sister Angeline’s long-delayed wedding to Frederick Carlyle, the impetuous Kat Stephenson has resigned herself to good behavior. But Kat’s initiation into the magical Order of the Guardians is fast approaching, and trouble seems to follow her everywhere.
First, Kat must contend with the wretched Mrs. Carlyle’s attempts to humiliate her sister; the arrival of the mysterious Marquise de Valmont, who bears suspicious resemblance to Kat’s late mother; and Frederick’s bewitching cousin Jane, who has Charles Stephenson tripping over his feet. But when a menacing boy with powerful magic starts hunting Kat, a dastardly villain tries to kill Angeline, and the Guardians face a magical robbery that could spell the end of their Order, propriety becomes the least of Kat’s concerns.
Can Kat save her sister’s life, the Order of the Guardians, and England itself before it’s too late?

“Once again I really enjoyed this. Kat is a great character, she's smart and sassy, bucks the norms of her time but makes enough mistakes that she feels genuine and human.
My 8 year old really loves this series and I went online to buy Courting Magic when we only had 2 chapters left.”

“Kat is finally able to start preparing for her test to become a full-fledged Guardian, but she has to do it in secrecy and avoid causing any problems for Angeline and her marriage to Lord Frederick Carlyle. Not too long into the trip to the Carlyle estate, it becomes apparent that someone intends to hurt Kat or someone in her family--possibly the same person who stole the Guardians’ collection of magic portals. As Kat works to practice her magic and avoid the person who keeps threatening her and her sisters, she solves the mysteries about her family’s past and helps create a better world for magic in the future through the discoveries she makes.
The whole Stephenson family is back in this book, and the characters are just as fun as ever. One of the most fun aspects of this book is that finally Kat’s older brother, Charles, is trying to be involved in the family. The development of his concern for the family and his new romance is a nice addition to the character. Kat is starting to grow up in this book, but she’s still the Kat that shines in the first two books of the series. It is frustrating sometimes that her family doesn’t allow her to change and grow up, but Kat still finds a way to do the things she feels are best to protect her family. The mysteries of Kat’s father, her mother, and who is threatening the family are blended together well and keep the suspense going until the end of the book. This book is a little bit darker than the first two, but fans of the series will be satisfied with the ending and left wanting to hear more about Kat and her adventures.”
