    "description": "<p><span>Knives Out</span><span> meets </span><span>The Binding</span><span> in this historical romp full of magic, romance and adventure.</span><span><br /><br />Maud Blyth has always longed for adventure. She&rsquo;d hoped for plenty of it when she agreed to help her beloved older brother unravel a magical conspiracy. She even volunteered to serve as an old lady's companion on an ocean liner. But Maud </span><span>didn't</span><span> expect the old lady to turn up dead on the very first day of the voyage.<br /><br />Now she has to deal with a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and the lovely, dangerously outrageous Violet Debenham. Violet is everything Maud has been trained to distrust, yet can&rsquo;t help but desire: a magician, an actress and a magnet for scandal.<br /><br />Surrounded by open sea and a ship full of suspects, Maud and Violet must learn to drop the masks they&rsquo;ve learned to wear. Only then might they work together to locate a magical object worth killing for &ndash; and unmask a murderer. All without becoming dead in the water themselves.<br /><br /></span><span>&lsquo;Mystery! Magic! Murder! . . . This book is a confection, both marvellous and light&rsquo; </span><span>&ndash; </span><span>Alix E.
