India Steele ist verzweifelt. Ihr Vater ist verstorben, ihr Verlobter hat sie um ihr Erbe erleichtert, und niemand will ihr Arbeit geben, obwohl sie jahrelang ihren Vater, den Uhrmacher, unterstützt hat. Vielmehr scheinen sich die Uhrmacher von London vor ihr zu fürchten. Auf sich gestellt, verarmt und am Ende ihrer Kräfte lässt sich India vom einzigen Menschen anstellen, der sie nimmt—einem geheimnisvollen Mann aus Amerika. Einem Mann mit einer seltsamen Taschenuhr, die ihn regeneriert, wenn er krank wird.

The Goldsmith’s Conspiracy is the final book in the best-selling Glass and Steele series. Tensions between the artless and magicians are flaring, but India and Matt discover someone is deliberately fuelling the flames.

But India has the ear of the government now, and her own political influence is growing, something which pushes Lord Coyle over the edge.

When the wool magician who helped India create a flying carpet spell disappears, his wife is worried for his life. India and Matt are worried for the country.

Are curses real? After a toymaker magician gives a lecture at a collector’s club soiree, an important spell is stolen and a man is found strangled.

But nobody seems to know if curses are real or not. As Matt and India close in on the killer, old foes bring trouble into their lives. With the threat of exposure hanging over London’s magicians, disaster is never far away.
