Wormwood Abbey
Wormwood Abbey: The Secrets of Ormdale Book One | Christina Baehr
2 posts | 1 read
As a Victorian clergyman's daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything — until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap.

When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling gothic Abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire. Wormwood Abbey isn't just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there's also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbour who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.
An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world — especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family's legacy.

But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap...and some of them have teeth.

WORMWOOD ABBEY, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cosy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship, perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and Maria Grace.

Start exploring the hidden valley of Ormdale today in WORMWOOD ABBEY, the first in a new 5 book series!

And ... finished! A delightful cozy gothic fantasy. Wonderful protagonist, mysterious neighbor, secretive cousins, a ruined abbey, and (of course) dragons! There are hints of a romance to come in future books, but none in this first volume. A fun read for tweens, teens, and adults. #fantasy #gothic #dragons #historicalfantasy

An author of detective novels who finds herself in the middle of a gothic novel -- and she **hates** gothic novels. Love it!

(Oh, plus dragons.)
