A House of Cards

For A House of Cards: As tensions escalate between Church and Crown, Dona finds herself trapped within the Church-occupied College. It's only a matter of time before Inquisitors come knocking, and after several high-profile magical attacks against them, they'll be out for blood. Despite her innocence, recent events could suggest her complicity, not the least of which is association with her new heretic boyfriend. Waiting idly by for the interrogations to begin is not in her nature - can she devise a plan to avoid capture, or will she give in to the temptation to take advantage of her new friends' heretical magic in a desperate bid to save them all? A House of Cards is the third book in the Dreamweaver Chronicles and the second volume of the Heiromancer trilogy.

For the Heiromancer Trilogy: On the verge of losing her inheritance to her obnoxious brothers, cunning spinster Verone Nevinander concocts a daring winner-take-all plan to force her father to disinherit them, but when her father informs her she must marry within the week for her plans to succeed, she must seal the deal before her desperate brothers can stop her by any means possible. In the process, she upends the tenuous status quo for university student Dona Merinne, her University, the City State of Trifienne, and indeed, the entire Church hierarchy. The Heiromancer trilogy consists of three linked (not-standalone) novels-Practical Phrendonics, A House of Cards, and Hanged Man's Gambit. Welcome to the Heiromancer trilogy, a richly detailed magic-infused Victorian-style romp.

The Dreamweaver Chronicles, which currently includes the Heiromancer Trilogy and The Demon of Histlewick Downs, take place in the same magical universe. These stories can be enjoyed in either order.
