Her mother left her with the knowledge that sorrow fuels the transformations and Camille has plenty of that but there is also a mysterious chest left behind that Camille was warned never to open. Camille uses the first kind of magic to change bits of metal into money in order to survive but the money doesn’t hold its shape and this is a major problem but getting real money is even harder since her brother refuses to listen to her. However, Camille has the ability to work magic, there are three kinds in this novel, magic to change the appearance of an object, magic to change the appearance of a person and finally, magic that can animate objects. The family are very poor after both of their parents died from smallpox and her father had to sell his printing press before that, while Alain is a soldier he has a problem with gambling and drink, while Sophie still suffers the aftereffects of smallpox meaning it is left to Camille to provide for her family.

We are introduced to Camille Durbonne and her family, her sister, Sophie and her older brother, Alain.

Review: All I knew about Enchantee before going into it was it takes place in 1789 in the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
