About Valour and Vanity by Mary Robinette Kowal
Set in a Regency world where magic is known as glamour, Valour and Vanity follows Jane and Vincent on a journey to Murano. After Melody’s wedding, the Ellsworths and Vincents join the newlyweds’ tour of the continent. Jane and Vincent plan to travel separately to study with Murano’s glassblowers, but Barbary corsairs attack their ship, leaving them destitute.
A kind local helps the couple, while Vincent resolves to recover their lost money and devises a plan. But the plan has pitfalls, and not everything is as it seems. Combining magical fantasy with a heist-style adventure, the novel may appeal to readers who enjoy Regency settings, glamour, and schemes that do not go quite as planned.
