MAGIC RULES. WE SERVE. In a darkly fantastical debut set in modern-day Britain, magic users control everything: wealth, politics, powerùand you. If youÆre not one of the ultimate one-percentersùthe magical eliteùyou owe them ten years of service. Do those years when youÆre old, and youÆll never get through them. Do them young, and youÆll never get over them. This is the darkly decadent world of Gilded Cage. In its glittering milieu move the all-powerful Jardines and the everyday Hadleys. The families have only one thing in common: Each has three children. But their destinies entwine when one family enters the service of the other.
