Publisher's summary

As a Victorian clergyman's daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything-until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap.

When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling gothic Abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire. Wormwood Abbey isn't just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there's also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbor who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.

An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world-especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family's legacy.

But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap . . . and some of them have teeth.

Wormwood Abbey, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cozy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship, perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and Maria Grace.

My new favorite series for 2024

I actually have read all 4 of the books published in this series so far. Then I liked Wormwood Abby so much I decided to listen to the audio book and loved it even more. Excellent narration, which brought the book to life even more.
If you want to answer the question, are dragons real, you will get this wonderful story.

Great story and great narration

WORMWOOD ABBY is excellent, entertain, compelling, interesting, captivating - and every other superlative! I read the book and then listened to the audible and was impressed. The book was great and the audible is even better - which is amazing. I teach filmmaking, and this book is as entertaining and powerful as any movie. Thank you so much!

A classic storytelling vibe

Sometimes you just need a good old fashioned story, and that’s what you get with this one. Loved it and can’t wait to hear the rest of the series when they release in audio version
