Book description
Magic, manners, conspiracy and intrigue - yes, it's a Laws of Magic
story! Judging a flower arranging competition because your father, the
Prime Minister, is busy almost seems like a punishment. But when youà Â
re Aubrey Fitzwilliam, magical genius, things rarely go to plan, and the
day takes a decidely non-floral turn when Aubrey is asked for help in a
suspected case of magical blackmail. Secret societies, spies, a basement
laboratory? Aubrey wonà  t let a barred window à Â- and the possibility
of mortal danger à Â- stand in his way. Sliver of Doubt is a story in
the Laws of Magic world. Set in a world similar to Edwardian Britain,
just before World War I, The Laws of Magic stars Aubrey Fitzwilliam, the
son of a prominent ex-prime minister, who's brilliant at magic - and
just as good at finding trouble. Michael Pryor has published more than
twenty-five fantasy books and over forty short stories, from literary
fiction to science fiction to slapstick humour. Michael has been
shortlisted six times for the Aurealis Awards, has been nominated for a
Ditmar award, and six of his books have been CBCA Notable Books,
including three books in the Laws of Magic series. His most recent

Magic for older readers. Michael is currently writing books in a new
