Inspired by the works of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Garth Nix's
Newt's Emerald is a Regency romance with a fantasy twist. New York
Times bestselling author Gail Carriger calls it "charming; quite, quite
charming."
After Lady Truthful's magical Newington Emerald is stolen from her she
devises a simple plan: go to London to recover the missing jewel. She
quickly learns, however, that a woman cannot wander the city streets
alone without damaging her reputation, and she disguises herself as a
mustache-wearing man. During Truthful's dangerous journey she discovers
a crook, an unsuspecting ally, and an evil sorceress--but will she find
the Emerald?
