(Magic is one thing, but an England that avoided all the prejudices of the Empire would have been fantasy indeed.) In Zen Cho's 2015 Regency fantasy of manners Sorcerer to the Crown, Zachariah Wythe found himself the heir to British magic's most esteemed position - the first black man to hold the office, which went over among the gentry about as you'd expect. Too little can weigh down lighthearted moments too much can boil away substance. And Muna's quest to get her sister back is complicated by British thaumaturgical politics, the mysteries of Fairy, and the fact that Muna has no magic - and nothing to wear to Amelia Stapleton's coming out.
But Sakti vanished during the sisters' journey through Fairy.
She and her sister Sakti are refugees from Janda Baik, sent away by their mentor Mak Genggang to seek the mystery of their past (and avoid an international incident with colonizers). Poor Muna's arrival in England is less than auspicious. Your purchase helps support NPR programming. Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title The True Queen Author Zen Cho
