Synopsis

Ottilie Rushforth hides from the mighty Sorcerer’s Guild as secretary to a has-been detective. But Ottilie is also Entwined—threads of magic run beneath her skin, and the Guild would trap her in service. Working on a plan to escape the Guild forever with her estranged fiancé, the enigmatic poet, soldier and smuggler Lewis Illing, Ottilie must track down a mysterious artifact, claim the bounty, and leave the city forever. But her sisters—Pretoria, a quick-witted sorceress and thief recently emerged from exile, and Madge, a guild mage to the core—are making offers just as unwelcome as the Guild’s. She can have a new life at the cost of everything she has ever wanted, or prestige and safety in a gilded cage. With her life and liberty on the line, Ottilie must track down the artefact in a city being torn apart by prejudice and violence. She must choose between the two sides of herself—the fugitive or the Entwined.

With Entwined, HM Long once again proves that she is the master of unique, engaging world-building. I was immediately consumed by the magic of the entwined and this gaslamp fantasy world on the brink of conflict. The characters were endearing, Ottile's headstrong, snarky nature reminded me of Mary F......more

Goodreads review by M.J. on November 15, 2025

If this is not on your TBR already, you're gonna wanna correct that POSTHASTE. I smashed through this in three days, and it would have been faster if annoying things like work and sleep hadn't gotten in the way lol. This has just catapulted itself onto my top reads of 2025 list. If you like Long's wri......more
