Book Club - A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske

A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske is the first book in The Last Binding trilogy, a queer romantic fantasy set in an alternate Edwardian England where magic exists secretly alongside the mundane world. It follows Robin Blyth, a civil servant who discovers magic after a clerical error places him as the liaison to a hidden magical society, forcing him to team up with the prickly Edwin Courcey to solve the murder of his predecessor and uncover a dangerous conspiracy. The novel blends historical fiction, mystery, and fantasy with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.
