A proposito di questo titolo
“The utterly enchanting second installment of Alexis Hall’s Mortal Follies series brings back all the magic, both literal and figurative, that readers expect. . . . It’s another rousing success from Hall.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
It is the year 1815, and Mr. John Caesar is determined to help his sister, Mary, successfully navigate the marriage mart. A high-stakes endeavor at the best of times, this task is made slightly more difficult by his family’s nontraditional background, the pernicious whims of the ton, and the ever-present complication of living in a world full of scheming fairies and capricious gods.
Despite all that, John knows that his parents wish to see his sister comfortably settled. He also knows that the sooner he sees Mary’s future secured, the sooner he can get his own wish—returning to an aristocratic life of leisure. And as for Mary? Sweet, sensitive Mary just wishes gentlemen would pay as much attention to her as they do to her younger sister.
When Mary’s all-too-literal wish puts her squarely in the sights of a malicious fairy godmother, John sets out to save her. This choice throws him into the path of Captain Orestes James—the handsome up-from-the-ranks hero of Wellington’s armies—and his ragtag band of misfits. Together, John and the captain will venture into a vicious world of fey bargains and sacrificial magic as they draw ever closer to rescuing Mary—and to each other.
While John is no stranger to casual dalliances with soldiers, until now he’s never expected one to last—or wanted one to. He and the captain come from different worlds, and even if Orestes feels the same, John knows there’s no point in wishing for something more between them.
After all, John has learned firsthand that getting what you wish for can be a dangerous thing. . . .

“Fairy mischief descends on Regency England once again. [With] a clever framework for the story’s balance of levity and gravity . . . [and] thanks to piles of rich detail, mythological references, and interactions with the Other Court . . . [Confounding Oaths is] a queer and fantastical romance that enchants in more ways than one.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
