Gita Trelease’s Liberté is the transporting, magical sequel to Enchantée, hailed by NPR as a "soaring success"! Magic. Betrayal. Sacrifice. Camille Durbonne has given up her title and promised herself she’ll never again work the magic that’s left her worn. She finally has the means to be a printer, and with it, Camille sees her chance to make her world better. Lazare has started a revolutionary club, The Hands of Liberty, to which Camille and the aeronauts belong. But when Lazare’s father falls ill, he must fly his parents to safety. While Lazare is away, a dangerously charismatic man named Antoine Maurier takes charge. Under his leadership, the Hands grow radical. With Lazare gone, Maurier tries to win Camille over. He promises her that, using the Hands to print and distribute her work, she will become the most influential writer of the Revolution—as long as she’s loyal to him. Amidst everything, Camille’s been receiving eerie notes—words scrawled in vanishing ink on one of her proofs, cryptic signs on the windowpanes. When she receives a note begging for help, she investigates. She discovers a secret society of aristocrat magicians—doubly persecuted for their noble blood and their inherited ability to work magic—hiding in the catacombs of Paris. They plan to use magic to spirit away the king and queen, ending the people's call for noble blood, but they need Camille's help...
