Burglary at Barnard

An ancient college. A secret chamber. One very suspicious burglary. Natalie Payne is about to learn that Oxford's history is alive and under attack.Natalie Payne expected her new term at Barnard College to involve event planning. She did not expect to find a hidden chamber filled with glowing artefacts or the body of the College Master's assistant. To make matters worse, the murder weapon is a brass candlestick stolen from Nat's own home at St Margaret College.With the help of her fire-sneezing wyvern sidekick, Nat vows to dig deeper into Barnard's shadowy past. As she uncovers connections between stolen treasures and arcane magic, she realises this case is more dangerous than she imagined.On the positive side, the investigation brings her back into the orbit of Edward Thomas, the stoic but handsome professor who has captured her interest. Their slow-burn attraction begins to simmer even as they dodge a suspicious College Master who seems to be hiding his own dark secrets.With the city's ghosts disappearing and the magic failing, Nat and her found family must untangle a web of secrets that span generations. If they cannot identify the killer soon, the very heart of Oxford's magic may be lost forever. Lynn Morrison lives in Oxford, England along with her husband, two daughters and two cats.
