'Sublime prose, top-notch world-building, delightfully queer' - TJ Klune, bestselling author of Under the Whispering Door on A Marvellous Light

Jack Alston - Lord Hawthorn - renounced magic after the death of his twin sister. But to save Britain's magicians from a dangerous threat, Jack and an unlikely group of friends must locate the final piece of the Last Contract - before their enemies do. To do so, they'll need the help of writer and thief Alan Ross. Cagey and argumentative, he unfortunately happens to everything that Jack wants, in one gorgeous, infuriating package.

When a plot to seize unimaginable power unfolds at Jack's family estate, Jack, Alan and their allies will become entangled in a night of champagne, secrets and bloody sacrifice . . .

and the foundations of magic in Britain will be torn up by the roods before the end.

Filled with magic, murder and romance, A Power Unbound is the thrilling third book in The Last Binding trilogy by Freya Marske. Start the series with A Marvellous Light and A Restless Truth.

Reviews for A Power Unbound: A spicy, magical historical romp

Stunning – the writing is lush, the world-building is fascinating, and the romance is searing hot. I am completely obsessed with this story of unrepentantly dangerous people falling in love with one another -- Cat Sebastian, author of <i>The Queer Principles of Kit Webb</i> A delightful, twisty, endlessly charming romp. I would travel anywhere with these characters -- Grace D. Li, author of <i>Portrait of a Thief</i> Messy people and burn-it-down conflict . . . Marske uses the full span of the trilogy to build to a beautiful, devastating conclusion . . . Romance runs on undiluted wish fulfillment; sometimes this means give me everything I desire, but other times it means promise me that I can survive the worst -- <i>New York Times</i> Showstopping . . . Marske again demonstrates her talent for balancing romance and fantasy action. This does the series proud -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, Starred Review Delightful and spicy . . . Marske is simply superb at her chosen genres -- <i>The New York Times</i> on The Last Binding trilogy A Restless Truth keeps all the heart and heat of A Marvellous Light, but quadruples the hijinks. It's the lesbian locked-room murder mystery of my dreams. Beyond delightful -- Alix E. Harrow, author of <i>Starling House</i> on <i>A Restless Truth</i> Jaw-droppingly fantastic. Anyone who's ever hoped that the Miss Phryne Fisher Mysteries had a bit more magic and a lot more sex is going to adore this book, which doesn't skimp on either. Add to that fantastic, thoroughly captivating characters, a deeply engaging story and divinely lyrical prose. In a word: delightful -- Jenn Lyons, author of <i>The Ruin of Kings</i> on <i>A Restless Truth</i> A magical world of exquisite refinement, where peril skims beneath manners, interiors bespeak both faultless taste and deadly secrets, and the sexual tension crescendos until it literally makes sparks fly. A dazzling debut -- Shelley Parker-Chan, author of <i>She Who Became the Sun</i> on <i>A Marvellous Light</i> A breathtaking queer romantic fantasy . . . Sensual erotic scenes, an intriguing magic system, and a puzzling mystery combine to make this novel a wonder -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, Starred Review on <i>A Marvellous Light</i>
