Wards of the Roses

Join Kate and Giles as they explore a mysteriously reappearing magical manor house in 1920.

During the Great War, Kate was able to take on new and interesting challenges as a member of Albion’s Guard. Now the men have returned, she has been reassigned to routine duties. They are important, necessary, and boring.

Blinded by gas in the Great War, Giles knows he is still a competent and creative cryptographer, mathematician, and magician. The rest of the world doesn’t always agree.

When Giles and Kate make a breakthrough in their investigation, it sends them tumbling into the lost manor and a tangle of fae enchantment. Only his skills and Kate’s persistence can get them out of the sprawling country house.

Wards of the Roses is the fourth novel in the Mysterious Charm series, but is a great introduction to Celia Lake’s Albion books can be read in any order.
