* SlutShaming: Prunella is mistaken for a prostitute simply because she travels with Zacharias (even though she is accompanied by a female servant specifically to prevent damage to her reputation), and is not even given ''food'' in the inn they stay at. When a servant questions this mistreatment, she is told by the innkeeper that a ''decent'' woman would rather have died than allowing herself to sink so low.

''Sorcerer To The Crown'' is a 2015 historical fantasy novel set in Regency London written by Zen Cho.
Zacharias Whythe leads the Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers as the first African Sorcerer Royal. As the magical protector of England, his responsibility is to judge how magic should be best used for the good of the nation. Unfortunately, England's magic is fading. Zacharias must find out why, fix the problem, and fend off attempts at deposing him. In the process of carrying out his duties, he encounters Prunella Gentleman, an ambitious and extremely magical orphan determined to escape the school for gentlewitches where she's spent her entire life that possesses seven familiars' eggs when there has not been a new familiar in England for fifty years. Prunella intends to make the most of this discovery and attaches herself to Zacharias. Together, they set off to solve the magic drain and change the nature of sorcery along the way.

!! ''Sorcerer To The Crown'' contains examples of:
* BornIntoSlavery: Zacharias was born a slave before being bought by Sir Stephen, brought to England, and freed.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Exploited by Prunella, who notes how Zacharias is exactly the kind of gentleman who could be easily manipulated into helping a woman who plays the role of a damsel in distress. Prunella actually needs help but exaggerates for effect as she doesn't know Zacharias (who would help her anyway).
* HistoricalFantasy: Takes place in a version of Regency England with magic, fairies, familiars, and more.
* MuggleFosterParents: The magically gifted Prunella is raised by the completely unmagical Mrs. Daubeney. Indeed, Mrs. Daubeney serves as this for all the girls at her school.
