Nimira is a foreign music-hall girl forced to dance for mere pennies. When wealthy sorcerer Hollin Parry hires her to sing with a piano-playing automaton, Nimira believes it is the start of a new and better life. In Parry's world, however, buried secrets are beginning to stir. Unsettling below-stairs rumors swirl about ghosts, a madwoman roaming the halls, and Parry's involvement with a league of sorcerers who torture fairies for sport. Then Nimira discovers the spirit of a fairy gentleman named Erris is trapped inside the clockwork automaton, waiting for someone to break his curse. The two fall into a love that seems hopeless, and breaking the curse becomes a race against time, as not just their love, but the fate of the entire magical world may be in peril.

Magic Under Glass
Since this book has been out a while now and some frequently asked questions pop up in reviews, I thought I'd edit my review to answer a few here.
--There will be a sequel! It's called Magic Under Stone and it should be released in 2012. As far as I know, that book will complete the story. A companion book--same world, different characters and locale--called Between the Sea and Sky will be released in 2011.
--The title "Magic Under Glass" refers to the fairies kept under glass which are also sort of a metaphor for the trapped situation of the characters, especially Erris. Originally there was actually a bigger plot involving this magical machine made of glass, but that was cut in edits.
--The series is not really called "Magic Under", that's just some arbitrary thing Goodreads assigned to it.
--Nimira's home country was drawn from many other countries, with China and India being the largest, but far from the only, influences. In my original draft it really sounds more like China, but over various evolutions it came out sounding more like India. Still, it wasn't meant to be any one place in particular. I think of this as taking place on an alternate Earth where migration and trade was altered, sometimes slightly and sometimes vastly, by the presence of magic, winged folk, mermaids, etc., so cultures developed in different ways.
P. S. Yes. I gave it 4 stars. Well, I like some of my other books better! =P
