About A Riddle of Wizards
Cloud castles, curses, and cinnamon cakes. With its mercurial lord back at Ravencroft Hall, England’s most faerie-infested village is safe once more. After a lonely upbringing as the ward of a non-magical earl, Richard Ravencroft has finally embraced his wizard heritage. He’s found his true love, Kitty Boot, and just wants to live the quiet life of a country doctor-slash-amateur sorcerer. So when he’s summoned to the Riddle, a conclave of the most powerful wizards in Western Europe, his first instinct is to refuse. Richard’s spells still go wrong more often than not—sometimes with disastrous results. Besides which, he doubts anyone has forgotten his parents’ embarrassing treason to the Crown. And yet… The Riddle might be the only chance to break the enchantment on his friend Layla’s father—and redeem the Ravencroft name. It’s held at a remote alpine castle, culminating in a grand ball on Feenacht, when the doors to the Otherworld open wide. Layla insists on coming too, along with Kitty and Richard’s charmingly rakish cousin Adrien. Together, they find new hope, surprising allies, and excellent German pastries. But when the Riddle comes under attack by a malevolent force, Richard’s own bargain with the Court of Silver Shadows is threatened—along with the fate of the woman who holds his heart. Mixing adventure, humor, and low-spice romance, A Riddle of Wizards will delight fans of the Emily Wilde books.
