It's 1772, and all of Olivia Amberson's dreams seem to have come true. At eighteen years old, she's an accomplished magical Guardian and a secret witch, with a love spell that's made her unlikely betrothal wonderfully secure...until it all comes crashing down around her in a mass of scandal and humiliation.
A 4400-word short story prequel to the Kat, Incorrigible series.
