In this continuation of the Threads of Magic trilogy, Charity and Bridgette confront even greater challenges as they must save those they love from the relentless forces of plague and dark magic.

Excommunication threatens to strip Lord Carolinus of his estate, but what begins as a battle for property soon transforms into a harrowing examination of the Church of the One True Way's secret crimes. Charity's plans to reopen the school have come to a standstill.

Bridgette thought she had nothing left to lose. She was wrong. Her quest for justice takes a perilous turn as mind control leaves her loveless and penniless. She concocts a wild plan that may put them all at risk by asking for help from the very priests who want her dead.

Amidst these unfolding events, a victory against Lord Carolinus is short-lived after the plague threatens to destroy everyone Charity holds dear, and she must face her greatest fear of all-- exposing her metaphysical powers to the Church.

An Unwanted Charity is the second book in the exciting gaslamp fantasy trilogy Threads of Magic by award winning author K. A. Quinn.
