Description

An enchanting fantasy novel featuring a down-and-out fire witch and a young gentlewoman who join forces against a deadly conspiracy.

The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry follows Dellaria Wells - a petty con artist, occasional thief, and partly educated fire witch - who is behind on her rent. To make ends meet, Delly talks her way into a guard job in the city of Leiscourt, joining a team of unconventional women to protect an aristocrat from unseen assassins.

It looks like easy money and a chance to romance her confident companion Winn - but when did anything in Delly's life go to plan? With the help of a necromancer, a shapeshifting schoolgirl, and a reanimated mouse named Buttons, Delly and Winn find themselves facing an adversary who wields a twisted magic and has friends in the highest of places.
