Spellbreaker by Charlie N. Holmberg is a masterfully crafted historical fantasy that blends Victorian-era charm with a unique and intricate magic system. The story centers on Elsie Camden, an orphan who possesses a rare and illegal gift: she is a “spellbreaker.” In a world where magic is strictly regulated and reserved for the elite, Elsie uses her abilities to secretly dismantle the spells of the wealthy and corrupt. Her life of anonymity is shattered when she is caught in the act and blackmailed into using her talents for a mysterious organization with its own hidden agenda.
As Elsie is thrust into the glittering but dangerous high society of magical England, she finds herself working alongside Bacchus Kelsey, a powerful and enigmatic master of magic. Together, they must solve a series of grisly murders that threaten the stability of the magical world. Holmberg, the bestselling author of The Paper Magician, delivers a narrative filled with suspense, slow-burn romance, and thought-provoking questions about class, power, and the ethics of magic.
