When dead enemies rise, grave matters of the heart, mind, and body clash in the fantastical fourth Whimbrel House novel by Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.
Whimbrel House is changing. Merritt and Hulda are raising a family. Owein has signed a marriage contract with the magically compatible Lady Cora, a heavyweight of British nobility who’s an ocean away. And the lovely shape-shifting druid Fallon makes a distractingly fetching friend for Owein. But another change is in the air, and this time it’s something wicked.
The greatest wizard of the millennium, Silas Hogwood, is back—after five years dead. New body, same foul scent, and driven by madness and revenge. Owein, fearing he isn’t strong enough to fend off Silas, seeks Cora’s help and influence in England. Alarms ringing, Queen Victoria dispatches her League of Magicians, including her personal necromancer, to aid in Owein’s defense.
As magic, both good and evil, converges on Blaugdone Island, Owein realizes how harrowing the forces against them are. Combating them will require some digging—literally—for half-formed secrets of magic Hulda doesn’t want him to have. But no promise, lock, or government red tape will keep Owein from doing what’s necessary to protect those he loves. One way or another, Silas will only take Whimbrel House over Owein’s third dead body.
Wizard of Most Wcked Ways by Charlie N. Holmberg is expected out March 4, 2025 from 47North.
Why am I waiting on this book? I've read the other books in the series so far and have enjoyed them. The adventures begin in book one, Keeper of Enchanted Rooms, when Merritt inherits Whimbrel House and strange things happen. Things continue strange and unusual throughout the series with an added measure of danger. There is rarely a dull moment. I'd really like to see Silas Hogwood defeated once and for all. I am rooting for Merritt, Hulda, Owein and the rest.

DeleteI haven't started this series, but I have seen mention of this one and am so tempted to give this series a try! I hope you enjoy Wizard of Most Wicked Ways when you read it (and what a great title, isn't it?).
