A high-stakes endeavor at the best of times, this task is made slightly more difficult by his family's nontraditional background, the pernicious whims\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eof the ton, and the ever-present complication of living in a world full of scheming fairies and capricious gods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Despite all that, John knows that his parents wish to see his sister comfortably settled. He also knows that the sooner he sees Mary's future secured, the sooner he can get his own wish--returning to an aristocratic life of leisure. And as for Mary? Sweet, sensitive Mary just wishes gentlemen would pay as much attention to her as they do to her younger sister. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Mary's all-too-literal wish puts her squarely in the sights of a malicious fairy godmother, John sets out to save her. This choice throws him into the path of Captain Orestes James--the handsome up-from-the-ranks hero of Wellington's armies--and his ragtag band of misfits. Together, John and the captain will venture into a vicious world of fey bargains and sacrificial magic as they draw ever closer to rescuing Mary--and to each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While John is no stranger to casual dalliances with soldiers, until now he's never expected one to last--or wanted one to. He and the captain come from different worlds, and even if Orestes feels the same, John knows there's no point in wishing for something more between them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After all, John has learned firsthand that getting what you wish for can be a dangerous thing. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Del Rey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593497586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alexis Hall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44392008581301,"sku":"9780593497586","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8ae9a54c-1a17-4b9a-98c2-1834b1ab0fcc.jpg?v=1719949590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/confounding-oaths-9780593497586","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
