Synopsis Gemma and her friends from the Spence Academy return to the realms to defeat her foe, Circe, and to bind the magic that has been released., This fast-paced companion to the bestselling young adult Victorian fantasy, A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY, follows the adventurous Gemma Doyle and her friends Felicity and Ann as they explore the mysteries of the magical realms controlled by the Order, a secret society. It's the Christmas season of 1895, and while the girls are in London, enjoying holiday balls and potential suitors, Gemma is distracted by the discovery that she alone has the power to bind magic that is raging through the realms, threatening chaos to everyone. Kartik, a member of the sinister male order of the Rakshana, has been ordered to be sure Gemma succeeds, and he dogs her every move. At the same time, Gemma is attracted to Kartik, and confused about her feelings for the wealthy, established Simon Middleton.
