Reminiscent of The Golem and the Jinni, Caroline Stevermer's The Glass Magician is a magical and romantic tale set in New York's Gilded Age.

A fledging magician discovers true magic...and a power that might destroy her.

New York 1905: The Vanderbilts. The Astors. The Morgans.

They are the cream of society-and they own the nation on the cusp of a new century.

Thalia Cutler doesn't come from money or have family connections. But she knows magic-stage magic. And she dazzles the audience with fantastical acts.

One night, a trick goes horribly awry. Thalia discovers a magic beyond her stage twirls and costumes, finding her world far more enchanted-and herself far more powerful-than she ever imagined.

To understand what she is, Thalia will have to face a New York more dangerous than any stage she's known... before the real monsters descend to feast.
