Böcker i Whimbrel House-serien

A house of haunted history and ill temper. Make yourself at home in this beguiling novel of love, magic, and danger by Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg. Rhode Island, 1846. Estranged from his family, writer Merritt Fernsby is surprised when he inherits a remote estate in the Narragansett Bay. Though the property has been uninhabited for more than a century, Merritt is ready to call it home-until he realizes he has no choice. With its doors slamming shut and locking behind him, Whimbrel House is not about to let Merritt leave. Ever. Hulda Larkin of the Boston Institute for the Keeping of Enchanted Rooms has been trained in taming such structures in order to preserve their historical and magical significance. She understands the dangers of bespelled homes given to tantrums. She advises that it's in Merritt's best interest to make Whimbrel House their ally. To do that, she'll need to move in, too. Prepared as she is with augury, a set of magic tools, and a new staff trained in the uncanny, Hulda's work still proves unexpectedly difficult. She and Merritt grow closer as the investigation progresses, but the house's secrets run deeper than they anticipated. And the sentient walls aren't their only concern-something outside is coming for the enchantments of Whimbrel House, and it could be more dangerous than what rattles within.

"Merritt Fernsby's life has changed considerably since he inherited Whimbrel House. He's engaged to Hulda Larkin, who opened his eyes to the uncanny. And he's grown quite protective of his uncle Owein--several generations, and iterations, removed. Owein is presently inhabiting the body of a mixed-breed terrier when Merritt receives a missive from none other than Alexandrina Victoria, the Queen of England: I am interested in your dog. It's the queen's duty to the peerage to keep British wizardry empowered. Her offer: England will find a human vessel for Owein, marry him into the royal family, and add this remarkable soul-shifter to its lineage. For Owein, a boy trapped in the body of a pup, it's a dream come true. How can Merritt refuse? However, once they are in London and in consortium with a necromancer, the situation doesn't feel right, both with their hosts and the house they inhabit. Owein is having nightmares. And Hulda's premonitions warn of danger in Merritt's future. Clearly, someone doesn't want them in town. But after two hundred years of being cursed to drift, Owein is determined to chart his own destiny. He's ready to defy whatever chaos is coming. After all, Owein is the master of chaos, and with Merritt and Hulda's love and magical support, he can overcome anything"--
