In the bustling streets of 1911 New York City, seventeen-year-old Frances Hallowell leads a quiet life as a seamstress, haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her brother months earlier. Her world is turned upside down when she is attacked, leaving a man dead at her feet with her scissors embedded in his neck. With no explanation for her actions, Frances finds herself on the run, accused of murder. Just when it seems like her fate is sealed, two mysterious nurses arrive, revealing that she is not only deathly ill but also a witch. They transport her to Haxahaven Sanitarium, where she discovers it is actually a school for witches.

At Haxahaven, Frances finds the sisterhood she has always longed for, but the headmistress warns her of the dangers of magic. Frances, however, is drawn to the allure of powerful magic and is determined to learn everything she can. She is particularly fascinated by Finn, a boy with his own magical abilities who appears in her dreams and offers to teach her the secrets of the craft. As Frances grows more powerful, she attracts the attention of the leader of an ancient order who desires to gain control of Manhattan through magical means.

With danger lurking around every corner, Frances must make a difficult choice. She must decide whether to pursue justice for her murdered brother and her growing feelings for Finn, or to prioritize the safety of her city and fellow witches. As the stakes rise, Frances learns that the truth about her brother's disappearance is more terrifying than she could have ever imagined. She must confront the dark forces that are determined to keep her from uncovering the truth and protect those she loves from harm.

In the end, Frances must choose between power and the truth, and the price she pays for her decision may be more than she ever imagined. The Last Magician meets The Ladys Guide to Petticoats and Piracy in this breathtaking historical fantasy that will leave readers spellbound.
