When a Victorian fossil hunter discovers a baby pterodactyl, she vows to protect him, with the help of a fellow scholar--her former fiancé--in this enchanting and transporting historical fantasy.

"Scholarly and clever but still full of heart . . . Five baby pterodactyls out of five."--Heather Fawcett, New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series

Mary Anning wants to be a geomagician--a paleontologist who uses fossils to wield magic--but since the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women, she's stuck selling her discoveries to tourists instead. Then an ancient egg hatches in her hands, revealing a lovable baby pterodactyl that Mary names Ajax, and she knows that this is a scientific find that could make her career--if she's strategic.

But when Mary contacts the Society about her discovery, they demand to take possession of Ajax. Their emissary is none other than Henry Stanton, a distinguished (and infuriatingly handsome) scholar . . . and the man who once broke Mary's heart. She knows she can't trust her fellow scholars, who want to discredit her and claim Ajax for their own, but Henry insists he believes in the brilliant Mary and only wants to help her obtain the respect she deserves.

Now Mary has a new mystery to solve that's buried deeper than any dinosaur skeleton: She must uncover the secrets behind the Society and the truth about Henry. As her conscience begins to chafe against her ambition, Mary must decide what lengths she's willing to go to finally belong--and what her heart really wants.

"Mary Anning, magic, politics, and a pterodactyl--with this intriguing mix, this delightful and clever book provides definitive proof that Victorian England needed more dinosaurs!"--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
