- Book 1 of 2: The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic
Nora Fischers dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman. During a miserable weekend at a friends wedding, Nora wanders off and walks through a portal into a different world where shes transformed from a drab grad student into a stunning beauty. Before long, she has a set of glamorous new friends and her romance with gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. Its almost too good to be true.
Then the elegant veneer shatters. Noras new fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school. Her only real ally?and a reluctant one at that?is the magician Aruendiel, a grim, reclusive figure with a biting tongue and a shrouded past. And it will take her becoming Aruendiels student?and learning magic herself?to survive. When a passage home finally opens, Nora must weigh her ?real life against the dangerous power of love and magic.
For lovers of Lev Grossman's The Magicians series (The Magicians and The Magician King) and Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy (A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night).
