Flora Segunda is a series of young-adult fantasy novels by Ysabeau S. Wilce.Flora Fyrdraaca is the scion of a once-glorious family, but since Califa lost the War and her mother banished the magical butler who kept Crackpot Hall in order, Flora has been reduced to babysitting her crazy alcoholic father and mucking out the stables (as well as performing every other unpleasant chore that needs doing). As if this weren't bad enough, she's approaching her 14th birthday, the age at which all Fyrdraacas are expected to enter military training — but Flora would much rather be a Ranger, a spy who uses magic. When she accidentally stumbles across the banished butler, she thinks restoring him will solve at least a few of these problems. It doesn't.The novels in the series are: Flora Segunda: Being the Magickal Mishaps of a Girl of Spirit, Her Glass-Gazing Sidekick, Two Ominous Butlers (One Blue), a House with Eleven Thousand Rooms, and a Red Dog Flora's Dare: How a Girl of Spirit Gambles All to Expand Her Vocabulary, Confront a Bouncing Boy Terror, and Try to Save Califa from a Shaky Doom (Despite Being Confined to Her Room) Flora's Fury: How a Girl of Spirit and a Red Dog Confound Their Friends, Astound Their Enemies, and Learn the Importance of Packing Light | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Flora Segunda / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Technology seems mostly 1800sish at best, but the youth culture is very modern (even if their rock bands do feature banjos instead of guitars and use magic for amplification). | |

Narrative Profanity Filter: Not used much (if at all) in the first book, but practically omnipresent in the second, especially around Tiny Doom. (Though one wonders why it's necessary when Califan swearing seems to consist of words like "fike" and "scit"...) | |

People's Republic of Tyranny: The so-called Republic of Califa was never democratic as far as we can tell. Before the Warlord conquered it and turned it into a military dictatorship, it was under the seemingly just as oppressive control of the Pontifexa. Any truly republican origins before this have not yet been revealed by the author. | |
