The Wonders of Vale

We're all mad here...Dispatched overseas - far, far overseas - we're in hot water. Again.Following in the footsteps of a long-lost king, we're on the road to the mysterious Vales of Wonder.The upside? It's a hot-bed of magickal marvels, the likes of which we've literally never seen before.The downside? Danger. Because who ever said adventure would be easy?Fortunately, we have help.One reviled but aggravatingly handy beast specialist: check.One world-famous, awe-inspiring, purple-clad troll scholar: check.One perambulatory, half-mad house with a crush on Jay: check.Not to mention a magickal pup, an even more magickal unicorn, a talking book, a jewelled scroll-case map, a magic Wand, an ethereal faerie lyre, and an excitingly untested tool from the Society's own hermit genius.With an arsenal like that, the mission can only be an unqualified success. Right...? English both by name and nationality, Charlotte hasn't permitted emigration to the Netherlands to change her essential Britishness (much). She writes colourful fantasy novels over copious quantities of tea, and rarely misses an opportunity to apologise for something. Spanning the spectrum from light to dark, her works include the Draykon Series, Modern Magick, The Malykant Mysteries and the Tales of Aylfenhame. As agents of the Society for Magickal Heritage, Cordelia "Ves" Vesper and Jay Patel have an important job: to track down and rescue endangered magickal creatures, artefacts, books and spells wherever they are to be found. It's a duty that takes them the length and breadth of Britain, and frequently gets them into trouble...
