About this ebook
Over the course of two bewildering nights, housekeeper-turned-lady’s-companion Sfjona Brist took her first windcruiser flight, attended her first ball, and danced with a knight of the Round Table—twice! A third spin with the too-kind, too-tall Sir Natameus Bedivere of Bedrydant would have been positively scandalous, but Miss Brist’s virtue was thankfully saved when her employer, the Duke of Caid, jumped into Lake Nimue to brawl with law enforcement and was nearly devoured by a pack of bloodthirsty water wolves in the process.
Now His Grace is back from his perilous adventures, and Miss Brist must resign herself to resume her monotonous life as a spinster in the service of the Caid household. Or rather, she would, had she not received an urgent message that her father was just arrested.
For breaking into a distinguished household’s larder . . .
during a hunt for a legendary species of minuscule goblins.
Said larder belonging to the Earl of Bedrydant . . .
that is, Sir Bedivere’s father.
. . . . . . . . .
This companion novella to Of Blood & Light will take you back to Thule for another round of improbable Victorian shenanigans, fringe ethnoscience, and, of course, capybaras.
About the author
C. Monk is a Canadian author who rose to dubious fame with a romantic suspense series starring an OCD-ridden hitman and a wide array of strange and occasionally angry animals. These days she shares her writing time between high-octane adventures in the same vein and fantasy, her secret love (but with weird animals, too.)
She grew up in Paris in a Franco-American family, has lived in Tokyo, and spent ten years in advertising, building rickety websites for M&A boutiques and hedge funds. All of that somehow landed her in Montréal, where she keeps a close watch on the squirrels and complains on a daily basis about the egregious number of Tim Hortons.
