Wyrde and Wicked Special Edition Hardback

Winter’s come to Werth Towers, and it’s brought trouble by the sleighful — murderous books, marauding dragons, and one very determined mother with a Christmas agenda.

Gussie Werth has settled into her role as the family’s resident one-woman catastrophe rather well, thank you. There’s no cure for it, and honestly, why would she want one? Chaos suits her.

This particular winter, chaos has rather a lot of competition for her attention. The Werths’ Book of Spectres won’t stay on its shelf. Lady Maundevyle has arrived with Christmas plans nobody asked for. And somewhere on the grounds, a couple of dragons have gotten loose. Between all of it, a quiet holiday season looks increasingly unlikely — though there’s always Lord Felix, the disreputable old revenant, on hand with an opinion or three.

At Werth Towers, “unusual” is simply how the season goes.

Welcome back to the strangest family in Regency England — find out just what Gussie did next.
