Gilded cage / Vic James.
In an England where magically gifted aristocrats rule, not all are free; not all are equal; not all will be saved. Commoners must serve the Equals for ten years. Abi is a servant to England's most powerful family, but her spirit is free. So when she falls for one of their noble-born sons, Abi faces a terrible choice. Uncovering the family's secrets might win her liberty-- but will her heart pay the price? Abi's brother, Luke, is enslaved in a brutal factory town. Far from his family, cruelly oppressed, with friends whose ideals could cost him everything, Luke has discovered there may be a power even greater than magic: revolution.
