"Previously published in a somewhat different format in 2013."
After the Newington Emerald is stolen at the height of a conjured storm, eighteen-year-old Lady Truthful Newington goes to London, disguised as a man, to search for the magical heirloom of her house, and is soon caught up in a dangerous adventure where she must risk her life, her reputation, and her heart.

Disappointing submitted by hduke on July 28, 2018, 3:22pm Far too-overdone, Newt's Emerald seems like a book I would like - historical fantasy - but was rather a parody of a genre that the author didn't actually seem to enjoy. Instead of gently poking fun at the ridiculousness of most stories in the genre, it seemed to ridicule the genre itself, and not in a way I enjoyed. Sad.
