It's the Gilded Age. New York City, and increasingly the world, runs on steam and magic. A small number of families control national industry, influence global markets, and set the tone socially. The Livingstons are one of the gilded families, a mixture of old money and money that is newer, although not nouveau riche. The patriarch, Bernard, is facing unprecedented opportunities for his family in the cutthroat business world, while his second wife has taken on the competitive marriage mart to find her children and stepchildren suitable matches. The Livingston offspring will navigate societal expectations, pressure, and pleasures, present but sometimes veiled dangers, and the varied applications of magic as they shape their lives. Tags and characters will be added as the story progresses.
