But Eliza is not interested in any of that and she plans to show her father how foolish his ambitions are. Her plan includes getting herself betrothed to the most dandified and obnoxious war she can find.
She hopes that this will make her father free her from familial obligations so that she can chart her own path. But first, she will need to avoid Captain Parry her trustee, who seems hellbent on ruining her social schemes.
Soon enough, she discovers a deadly secret that may put all her plans in jeopardy and put all of Britain and her friends in danger.

The latter is known for his secretive dealings, even though Amelia too has several secrets of her own. But given that the anti-magic Luddites have made a bold plan, the fate of the dragons and England as a county may just be in jeopardy.
Unlike in the second novel, the author provides insights into the romantic escapades of Amelia and her forbidden lover lord Blackerby.
The romance narrative makes for a thrilling backdrop as Wheeler spices up things with adult dragons, elemental magic, and other interesting interactions between humans and the paranormal.
