This heir to the kingdom is partisan to artficers and mechanisms, and cannot forgive the mage guild for having such an odious power-mad schemer on the Royal Council. Everything changes when a northern barbarian MAGE becomes her most trusted servant, using his abilities to aid her experiments, and more. The book keeps us reading as we follow the maturation of the princess, emotionally as well as intellectually.

A cunning trap. A whiff of magic. A burst of steam.
Princess Cordelia has steel plate ambition, a mind like twisting brass gears, and the political might of tin foil. The girl aims to ratchet the Iron Empire into a glorious new day of gears and steam. The entire palace is arrayed against her. The chambermaids disdain her. The emperor ignores her. The mages, championed by Lord Oriolanus, lead a brisk campaign of lies and coercion. Those evil magic users threaten to tighten their grip upon the land even though machines are clearly superior. By the gods’ oil-stained hands, why can’t anyone else see her vision of the ideal future?
Just when Cordelia’s future threatens to slip back into medieval quagmire, a lone stranger with ice blue eyes and flowing blond hair arrives from the savage north. The handsome barbarian is destined to make both the hearts of the empire and the princess tremble. Does this spell doom or salvation for the girl’s fragile dream?
Explore The Scion’s Delight, the fantasy romance prequel novella of The Mage Conspiracy series. Discover a world of adventure and intrigue where lies cut deeper than any sword.
Though there is some mild sexual content, it is hardly romantic because Cordelia simply is not made that way. And that is just fine.
