A Little Knowledge
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
The Split Worlds series continues with “a triumphant merger of Victorian values with modern magic” from the Hugo Award-winning author of All Is Fair (Library Journal).
Cathy and Will are now the Duchess and Duke of Londinium, the biggest Fae-touched Nether city, but they have different ideas of what their authority offers. Pressured by his Fae patron, Lord Iris, Will struggles to maintain total control whilst knowing he must have a child with his difficult wife. Cathy wants to muscle the Court through two hundred years of social change and free it from its old-fashioned moral strictures. But Cathy learns just how dangerous it can be for a woman who dares to speak out . . .
Meanwhile, as Sam learns more about the Elemental Court it becomes clear that the Fae are not the only threat to humanity. Sam realizes that he has to make enemies of the most powerful people on the planet, or risk becoming the antithesis of all he believes in.
Threatened by secret societies, hidden power networks, and Fae machinations, can Sam and Cathy survive long enough to make the changes they want to see in the world?

August 1, 2016
Within the Nether, the mirror world that lies between the human Mundanus and the Fae Exilium, is the city of Londinium. Within a 19th-century English social structure, Will and Cathy, now the Duke and Duchess of Londinium, struggle to rule. However, their views on how they implement their authority diverge. Will is still bound to old values by his overbearing family and patron, Lord Iris. Cathy, on the other hand, continues to draw from her time in Mundanus and wants to vault over 200 years of court tradition and give women equal footing. But with Fae patrons still holding power, family dynasties can't be taken down quickly. While Will and Cathy work together despite their differences, the pressure becomes too overwhelming, and one will make a decision that will change their future. VERDICT Newman's return to the "Split Worlds" series (after All Is Fair) is a triumphant merger of Victorian values with modern magic; her fantastical romp through another world takes on class and gender dynamics.--KC
