Is Kat's untrained magic strong enough to prove she has what it takes to be a true Guardian? Find out in this second book of Stephanie Burgis's Regency-era fantasy trilogy.

Nowhere in England is safe from the mischief and magic of Kat Stephenson.

With her eldest sister finally married, it seems things are settling down for Kat. But when a scandalous accusation threatens her second sister Angeline's prospects, Stepmama swiftly whisks the family away to Bath in an attempt to outrun the gossip and engage Angeline to a respectable suitor. Meanwhile, Kat's utter lack of ladylike propriety has prompted the powerful Lord Ravenscroft to expel her from the Order of Guardians before her training has even begun!

Anger and exile aside, Kat knows something is not quite right about Lord Ravenscroft. And when her foolish brother Charles unwittingly invokes the furious force of Sulis Minerva at the King's and Queen's Baths, endangering vulnerable cousin Lucy and himself in the process, it's up to Kat to rescue her family, find Angeline a proper husband, and prove she has the true dignity of a Guardian.

Industry Reviews

"Kat Stephenson returns for more magical adventures in Regency England in this diverting middle-grade fantasy novel, sequel to Kat, Incorrigible.... All together, a fun romp for fantasy and Regency fans of all ages."

--"LOCUS, "July 2012 "Kat Stephenson, incorrigible as ever, returns to sow more magical chaos in a Regency England where families tainted by witchcraft are shunned in polite Society...this rollicking tale is neither historical fiction nor literary retread. Recommended for readers who like their fantasy seasoned with feisty characters and nonstop action."

--"Kirkus Reviews, "February 15, 2012 "This fast-paced fantasy will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Tweens will sympathize with her struggles to control her impulses and gain respect from the adults in her life. Though this is the second volume in a series, it stands well on its own, and the research into early-19th-century England shines through without detracting from the nimble plotting. This combination of history and fantasy is sure to please."

--"School Library Journal, "March 2012 "Kat is a feisty heroine.... She is fiercely loyal, stubborn, funny, and incredibly likable. Readers will root for her throughout her magical adventures. This imaginative and original series set in Regency-era England will appeal to fans of historical fiction, romance, fantasy, and adventure. "Renegade Magic" will leave readers clamoring for the third and final installment of Kat's adventures."

--"VOYA, "April 2012 "Regency romance meets Harry Potter with a strong jolt of twenty-first-century feminism in this second novel in the Kat, Incorrigible series....The lovely details--Roman baths, detailed costumes, and the seamy underside of Oxford student life--will have readers swooning all over again."
