... in which Emily and Dreadnought continue their adventures by battling high society, Russians, and vengeful Aztec goddesses.
The Hidden Goddess continues the story that was started in The Native Star. Picking up only a few weeks after the first book left off, we start the story by getting an idea of how much Emily and Dreadnought's lives have changed since the events in The Native Star. Emily is trying to make the transition from rural small town witch to the world of high-society New York City ladies. Her fiance, Dreadnought Stanton, is being groomed to take over the leadership of one of the most influential magical institutes in the world. Unfortunately for the two of them, several mysterious rival factions have plans of their own. A group of fanatics in South America are preparing to resurrect an Aztec goddess, and a group of fanatics from Russia are trying to prevent the goddess's resurrection by putting a stop to all magic. Caught in the middle, and constrained by the rules of New York's elite socialites, Emily has to find a way to prevent both the Aztecs and the Russians from succeeding in their plans, but she also has to find a way to help Dreadnought keep his new institute from falling to pieces.
