Mary Bennet and the Bingley Codex

Mary Bennet lives to learn, so she jumps at the chance to visit her sister Jane and catalog the enormous book collection at the Bingleys’ new estate. And it’s in that collection that Mary discovers the mysterious book – ancient, hand-written, bound in a scaly skin, and written in an unknown language.

But then the book changes, and permits her to read it. It is a magical book, and it’s willing to teach her magic! A whole new world opens up to Mary, a world wondrous and strange. The rational, scientific young woman discovers that this world contains secret magicians, uncanny beings, artifacts of power – and dangers such as she had never imagined. This new world brings Mary new friends. But also powerful and dangerous enemies.
