Publisher's summary

A boy like no other embarks on a transformative journey of magic and self-discovery in the next enchanting Whimbrel House novel by Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.

Merritt Fernsby’s life has changed considerably since he inherited Whimbrel House. He’s engaged to Hulda Larkin, who opened his eyes to the uncanny. And he’s grown quite protective of his uncle Owein—several generations, and iterations, removed. Owein is presently inhabiting the body of a mixed-breed terrier when Merritt receives a missive from none other than Alexandrina Victoria, the Queen of England: I am interested in your dog.

It’s the queen’s duty to the peerage to keep British wizardry empowered. Her offer: England will find a human vessel for Owein, marry him into the royal family, and add this remarkable soul-shifter to its lineage. For Owein, a boy trapped in the body of a pup, it’s a dream come true. How can Merritt refuse? However, once they are in London and in consortium with a necromancer, the situation doesn’t feel right, both with their hosts and the house they inhabit. Owein is having nightmares. And Hulda’s premonitions warn of danger in Merritt’s future. Clearly, someone doesn’t want them in town.

But after two hundred years of being cursed to drift, Owein is determined to chart his own destiny. He’s ready to defy whatever chaos is coming. After all, Owein is the master of chaos, and with Merritt and Hulda’s love and magical support, he can overcome anything.

Critic reviews

“Merritt Fernby and Hulda Larkin are back in the third installment of the Whimbrel House series (after Heir of Uncertain Magic, 2023). Fans of the series and fantasy tales will be pleased with this story.”Booklist

“Holmberg delights us with magical antics and nonstop action. She makes us care even more about the characters…This is a beautifully conceived fantasy, and Holmberg makes it clear that Hulda and Merritt’s adventures are far from over.”Bookreporter

Book of Chaotic Reading!

The third book in this series it’s just as good as the first two. With no spoilers here I can say that I am excited for any other sequels. I loved the introduction of the Druid people as well. Author continues her excellent world-building.

The spirit moving from dog to man.

I liked the development of all the characters. Plus the idea of a spirit doing so much moving from one place to another. I never heard of some of those jumps. One was kept excited waiting to find out what was going to happen next. I’m at the end of Book2 and have Book3 ready to go for the morning.

Continues to Enchant

If you love the characters, you will continue to love the series. The story picks up right where it left off with Holda and Merrit (I may be spelling their names terribly wrong) planning their wedding until they are called away to explore an opportunity for Owayne. As the opportunity unfolds, magical chaos revolves around the trio and you have to try to guess the culprit before the clock runs out- or worse! I’m too invested in the magical world at this point, I hope there is another book very soon!

He’s a real boy

This story took a turn I didn’t even think for Oweins character. This story had its intense moments but it was fun seeing Hulda and Merritt have this journey in London. I’m hoping to see more of how Owein handles the changes in his life in the next book. Oh and finally a marriage for those two love birds!! I adore how Merritt is turned on by Huldas clavicle. Too cute.
