Kate and Cecy and their new husbands, Thomas and James, are off on a Grand Tour. Their plans? To leisurely travel about the Continent, take in a few antiquities, and--of course--purchase fabulous Parisian wardrobes.

Review
"The marvelous mixture of fantasy and Regency romance easily captures readers' interest . . . This book will appeal to fantasy readers who appreciate something more sophisticated than Harry Potter-style magic."--
School Library Journal"A satisfying blend of magic, mystery, adventure, humor, and romance."--Booklist
Synopsis
Kate and Cecy, now proper married ladies, are off on a Grand Tour of the Continent with far too much luggage, their adoring husbands--and, oh yes, orders from Wellington himself to thwart a magical plot to take over Europe.
