Blaze of Glory, Laws of Magic Book 1
by Michael Pryor
Random House Australia
Reprint, 2010
ISBN:1864718625
From the publisher: “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 daring schemes that will get them both in trouble, that’s no easy thing to do.
At a royal hunting party, the boys 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 murder attempt – 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 . . .”
Heart of Gold, Laws of Magic Book 2
By Michael Pryor
Random House Australia
Reprint, 2001
ISBN: 1864718633
From the publisher: “At a loss after finishing their exams, Aubrey and George travel to the Gallian capital, Lutetia. Aubrey is pursuing a cure for his condition, but his family have other ideas, and he’s soon burdened with a royal mystery to solve, 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. The country’s magical lifeline, the Heart of Gold, has been stolen, leaving the city in chaos. And what is the connection with the sabotage of an experimental airship?
Aubrey, George and a somewhat reluctant Caroline are on the case . . .”

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?”
