Set in an alternate Edwardian England where magic is real, newly titled baronet Robin Blyth is mistakenly appointed as liaison to a secret magical bureaucracy, forcing him into an uneasy partnership with the prickly, bookish magician Edwin Courcey. As a dangerous curse and a conspiracy tied to his vanished predecessor threaten Robin's life, the two men must work together to uncover the truth, and their wary rivalry slowly deepens into something far more intimate. It's a witty blend of murder mystery, country-house drama, and slow-burn queer romance with a richly imagined magic system.
