CITY OF DARK MAGIC
CITY OF MAGIC contains a lot of different elements—suspense, romance, history, and fantasy—that work incredibly well together and make for a really fun, fast-paced read.
Sarah Weston is a brilliant but struggling graduate student in Massachusetts, diligently researching pitch perception in the brain when she receives an invitation to work in Prague for the summer. She finds herself among a team of international scholars hired by the formerly royal Lobkowicz family to archive their restituted treasures, which include artwork, guns, rare documents, and a trove of Beethoven’s papers. Sarah works away on cataloging Beethoven’s documents, but she has another mission: to covertly investigate the mysterious death of her mentor, who’d been on the team until he committed suicide. In the process of piecing together the circumstances of her professor’s death, Sarah finds herself caught up in palace intrigues, professional jealousies, and dark secrets that span centuries. She also makes some startling discoveries involving sixteenth-century alchemists, and parses through the professor’s clues about Beethoven’s Immortal Beloved.
