Up-and-coming fantasist Mary Robinette Kowal enchanted lovers with award-winning short stories and cherished novels featuring Regency set Jane and Vincent Ellsworth. In Without a Summer the master glamourists come back home, but in a world where magic is real, nothing at all - even the local sphere - is quite what it appears. Jane and Vincent go to Long Parkmeade to invest time with Jane's family, but quickly change restless. The year is unseasonably wintry. No one would like to be exterior and Mr. Ellsworth is concerned by the harvest, since an awful one may imperil Melody's dowry. And Melody has concerns of her own, given the limited selection of eligible bachelors. When Jane and Vincent get a payment from a dominant family in London, they opt to take it, and take Melody with them. They trust the change of landscapes can do her good and her marriage potential customers - and mood - will be brighter in London. Once there, discussion is of nothing but the crop failures induced by the wintry and increased unemployment of the coldmongers, which have provoked riots in a number of places to the north. With each transferring day, it's more difficult to avoid getting embroiled in the intrigue, none of them which really helps Melody's chances for romance. It's not long before Jane and Vincent realize that in addition to getting Melody to the church on time, they need to take on one small activity: solving a crisis of international proportions.
