In an alternative England of 1860 Laura and Tom become the targets of assassins. But Laura is a Spellbinder and more dangerous than she appears...
It is the height of the Victorian era. The British Empire is growing by hundreds of square miles everyday. One reason is the Department of Military Magic, constructed on the foundations of Issac Newton's secret research.
Tom and Laura find themselves the target of an assassin who is willing to kill hundreds provided they die. They are sent to a secret spy school as bait to try to uncover the traitor in Military Magic's organisation.
Laura is a Spellbinder, able to change reality by writing spells, but the spells only last a short time before they are consumed by fire. Tom is a Healer, destined to patch up the soldiers of the front line as the Empire expands.
Trouble follows them everywhere they go. Spy school is supposed to be the safest place in England, but it has already been infiltrated as foreign forces prepare to strike at the very heart of the Empire and kill Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband.
