SHE WANTED TO UNEARTH HISTORY.

'Full of wonder and magic . . . Five baby pterodactyls out of five.' - Heather Fawcett, New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series
'Mary Anning, magic, politics, and a pterodactyl . . . definitive proof that Victorian England needed more dinosaurs!' - Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of THE SPELLSHOP

---------------------------------------------
Mary Anning dreams of becoming a geomagician - a paleontologist who wields magic through fossils - but the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women. When an ancient egg magically hatches in her hands, revealing a baby pterodactyl she names Ajax, Mary believes she's found the discovery that could change everything.
Instead, the Society sends Henry Stanton, distinguished scholar and Mary's former fiancé, to retrieve Ajax as evidence for the church's doctrine about creation. While Mary distrusts the Society's motives, Henry claims he wants to help her earn the recognition she's always deserved.
As Mary uncovers the Society's hidden agenda and Ajax's true significance, she must decide whether the career she's always wanted is worth sacrificing the life she's sworn to protect - and whether she can trust the man who once broke her heart.

PRAISE FOR THE GEOMAGICIAN
'The Geomagician is an absolute joy of a historical fantasy that feels truly fresh and new... There's magic, romance, political machinations, dinosaurs...what more do you need? I loved this book - Jennifer Mandula is an author to watch.' - Martha Waters, author of To Have and to Hoax
'A richly imagined world of fossil hunters, magic and scholars, this tale is a delightful twist on Mary Anning and her discoveries on the Jurassic coast. Deftly plotted with a truly unique feel, Mandula has created a triumphant blend of palaeontology and magic with a vibrant cast of characters you will love.' - Rachel Greenlaw, author of The Ordeals
