What to expect
Ormdale, Yorkshire, 1910
Una Worms thinks nothing of putting out a salamander fire or soothing a feverish wyvern, and she is never, ever late for tea.
At only nineteen, the youngest daughter of England's famous dragon-keeping family is the one who keeps life running smoothly for everyone at the Royal Menagerie of British and Foreign Dragons.
But when a mysterious villain infiltrates the menagerie—and even worse, Una's prodigal sister, Violet, appears unannounced—Una's tidy schedule is thrown into turmoil, and she will have to confront parts of her past she would rather forget.
Meanwhile in London, restless suffragette Penny Fairweather stumbles across a story that could launch her journalistic career, even as her irritating civil servant brother, Crispin, is drawn into a thrilling shadow-realm of espionage. When both hit the trail of a dragon-obsessed secret society, the Fairweather siblings will have to decide which is more important: their ambitions or their lifelong rivalry.
Next in the much-loved world of Wormwood Abbey comes a new series from Christina Baehr, set in a dazzling era where mythical creatures must compete with airships for the heart of a generation.
