Synopsis

Miss Amelia's List follows American heiress Amelia Stonehold as she arrives in Regency-era England with a practical checklist of goals: acquire property of her own, look into the character of her new neighbors, and possibly, if the right prospect appears, find a husband. Her plans are complicated by the attentions of a fortune-hunting captain circling her new wealth, and by the discovery of an old Roman temple on her property that turns out to conceal something ancient and dangerous. As Amelia investigates further, she and her companion Serena discover that neither of them is quite as ordinary as their neighbors assume, one revealed as an Earth Master and the other a shapeshifting Fire Mage, powers that put them both at the center of the unfolding danger.
