In Regency England, Jane Ellsworth of Dorchester is a woman ahead of her time: not only is she highly skilled in the manipulation of glamour - plucking strands from the Ether to create magical illusions - she's also ambitious for her art. First and foremost, however, a lady of quality must marry well; and while her sister Melody has plenty of suitors, Jane has resigned herself to invisibility. But when a threat to her family causes Jane to push her magical skills to their limits, she attracts the attention of professional glamourist Mr Vincent...and wanders in to a love story of her very own.
