1.Blaze of Glory: Aubrey Fitzwilliam is the son of a prominent ex-prime minister. He’s also brilliant at magic, but he’s stuck at military school. At least he has his best friend, George, there to back him up. George would follow Aubrey anywhere – and with Aubrey’s talent for thinking up impulsive and daring schemes that will get them both in trouble, that’s no easy thing to do.
At a weekend shooting party at Prince Albert’s country estate, the boys find themselves in a hotbed of intrigue and politics. They discover a golem, a magical creature built to perform one task: to kill Prince Albert. Aubrey and George are hailed as heroes for foiling the attempt on the prince’s life – but who sent the golem, and why? Aubrey is far too curious to let the authorities handle this one, and he and George start investigating.
2. Heart of Gold: At a loss after finishing their end-of-year exams, Aubrey and George travel to the Gallian capital, Lutetia, where it so happens that the lovely Caroline is studying natural history.
Aubrey wants to pursue a cure for his condition – though his family have other ideas, and he’s soon burdened with a royal mystery to solve, old letters to procure, a missing ornithologist to locate and a spot of diplomatic espionage. These tasks should keep Aubrey occupied – but that would be underestimating Aubrey’s sense of curiosity and uncanny knack of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Someone is stealing people’s souls and turning them into mindless monsters, and the country’s magical lifeline, the Heart of Gold, has been stolen, leaving the city in chaos. Aubrey, George, and a somewhat reluctant Caroline are on the case . . .
3. Word of Honour: Sinister plots, schemes within schemes, magical upheavals, and a world to save from evil. As always, Aubrey goes looking for trouble–and finds it, in spades. Magical genius Aubrey Fitzwilliam, along with his loyal friend George, is trying to immerse himself in his new life at university. But for Aubrey life is never straightforward.
When Aubrey’s father, the Prime Minister, invites him and George to take a ride on a top-secret submersible, Aubrey can’t resist. The magical attack that threatens to send them to the bottom of the ocean begins a whirlwind series of events – a plot to rob Albion’s largest bank, strange underground disturbances and an opera singer who bears an uncanny resemblance to Aubrey’s nemesis, Dr Tremaine… How can Aubrey concentrate on his studies when there are mysteries to unravel?
4. Time of Trial: In the fourth book of this utterly addictive series, magical genius Aubrey Fitzwilliam is heading deep into the heart of enemy territory, luckily with his friends by his side.

But can Aubrey solve its mysteries while Dr. Tremaine’s warmongering machinations gather pace? After magical confrontations, near-death experiences, and the appearance of new allies and new enemies, Aubrey decides that there is only one thing to do: carry the fight to the enemy. Thanks to a fortuitously timed symposium, Aubrey, George, and Caroline accompany Lady Rose and Prince Albert to Holmlandinto the heart of hostile territoryonly to find a city infested with ghosts, brigands, and shadowy figures with agendas of their own. Fisherberg is a city on a knife edge. While trying to prevent a war, could Aubrey Fitzwilliam inadvertently trigger one?
