The Sorcery and Cecelia series is a series of historical fantasy novels by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, done in epistolary or journal style.

The authors alternate writing entries by their individual characters, a style called the "letter game", which Stevermer learned about from Ellen Kushner while at Bryn Mawr.[1]

The series features the epistolary magical adventures of cousins Kate Talgarth and Cecelia Rushton.
