Two people who were never really suppose to meet find themselves entangled in a journey to find a magical artifact, trying to break deadly curses, and possibly falling in love. Robin Blyth is a young baronet who was just given a new minor governmental post... or at least it was suppose to be, instead he finds that he’s been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. The next thing he knows, he’s attacked by mysterious magicians, cursed, and now plagued by visions and the only person who can help him is the grumpy but attractive magician and said magical parliamentary liaison, Edwin. Edwin wants nothing to do with Robin. But he just can’t seem to not want to help him break the curse that’s been placed on him, and it doesn’t help that there is also the mystery of why Robin was given his new position to Edwin’s office. Throw in rude exes, terrible family, murderous hedge mazes, and a potential new romance between the two and you get a pretty cute murder mystery set in an alternative Edwardian England. Robin and Edwin are practically polar opposites, Edwin reeling from the treatment and hurts of his family, making him very closed off, while Robin is overflowing with affection and love for those he cares about. The story really works with the trope of sweet himbo/grumpy librarian. The story really focuses on how Edwin is closed off and how hard Robin works to break his walls. Overall, a pretty cute murder mystery with queer romance and magic.
