Things are getting serious at the Society for Magickal Heritage. An ancient legend has plans for Ves, and Ves has plans for just about everything else.
It’s time to take on the ultimate challenge—and hope for the best. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, everything. As usual. But if old magick is going to survive in the modern world, it’s no use being cautious.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and Ves is giving it everything she’s got. But can she handle the cost?
And can the cost handle her?
Modern Magick comes to a dazzling conclusion in these final three adventures: The Magick of Merlin, Dancing and Disaster, and The Fate of Farringale.
Rumour’s got a lot to say for itself, and the message is clear: the regulator’s ready.
You know. The magickal regulator. The bright and shiny thing with which we, Team Improbable, propose to restore magick to a fading Britain.
Somebody’s got to test it, and that somebody is us.
Which means wading into the depths of a long-dead realm that nobody’s entered in centuries. And I may have had some practice at that, but this time it’s different.
This time, somebody’s still home. And they really aren’t happy about trespassers.
Looks like disaster’s on the agenda. Again.
Not to worry, though. Where there’s life, there’s hope.
And… dancing.
Ves and Jay return in a fresh bout of magickal madness! Grab your dancing shoes and hang onto your hat. It’s going to be wild.
The enigmatic Society returns in a riotously funny new adventure from the author of Wyrde and Wayward!
Things have been quiet at the Society lately. Too quiet. It couldn’t possibly last.
When a griffin appeared in the Yorkshire skies, it could only mean bad news. There’s only one place in Britain it could have come from and that’s the lost kingdom of Farringale.
It’s a dire warning, and there’s worse to come. Turns out we aren’t the only people with an interest in the age-old city of the trolls. Farringale lies under attack—and these people will stop at nothing to take control of its treasures.
It’s time for a showdown—the deathly serious kind. The outcome will determine the fate of Farringale, once and for all—and the fate of British magick, too.
The pressure’s on. It’s going to take everything we’ve got, and it still might not be enough.
But we’re not without our wiles. Turns out the secret weapon we’re looking for might actually be: me.
Ves, Jay and the Society face their biggest challenge yet in this dazzling conclusion to the series!
Four years ago, somebody pinched perhaps the most valuable book in existence.
Merlin’s personal grimoire.
And the price they’re offering for its return is the kind we can’t refuse, so it’s Ves and Jay on the case.
Except that there aren’t any clues. Seriously, not even a little one. Nothing’s going to solve this case but a Vesper-patented Crazy Plan, and it had better be a good one, for complications are sprouting like daisies.
At least it’s a straightforward mission. There’s no earthly way this one’s going to turn my entire life upside down... right?
Ves gets up close and personal with ancient legends in the tenth Modern Magick adventure!
Can British magick survive?
As the pace of modern life accelerates, the old ways wither and die. But to the Society for Magickal Heritage, that just isn’t good enough.
The Witch: Friend to the unicorns, lover of pancakes, and wielder of potent artefacts, star agent Cordelia “Ves” Vesper will stop at nothing — okay, very little — to drag ancient magicks back out of the grave.
The Waymaster: New recruit Jay Patel has some rare and powerful arts at his disposal. With a penchant for old books and motorbikes in near equal measure, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
The Necromancer: Prankster Zareen Dalir may be high-spirited but she’s got a darker side. A much, much darker side. Head of the Toil and Trouble division, Zar’s the best kind of bad news.
The Baron: Is Baron Alban the handsomest troll alive or... forget it, yes. Yes, he is. But he’s not just a pretty face. With the powerful Troll Court at his back and a smile to slay an army, Alban’s a staunch ally.
Join these four champions, the enigmatic “Milady” of the Society, and the sentient house they call Home as they fight to keep magick alive! This new compendium brings you the first three wild adventures all in one: The Road to Farringale, Toil and Trouble, and The Striding Spire.
The fight to save British magick rages on — and it’s taking the Society’s beleaguered champions away from Home. Far, far away, to worlds long lost; worlds no one could ever have imagined existed.
Dangers and mysteries abound, which is way up Ves’s street. Jay isn’t quite so sure. Severed as they are from the Society’s support, will magick’s unlikely heroes make it Home unscathed?
It’ll be fine. After all, these lost magickal domains are the Society’s ultimate dream. What could possibly be so bad about that?
The Society for Magickal Heritage battles modern decay in three thrilling new Modern Magick adventures: The Fifth Britain, Royalty and Ruin, and Music and Misadventure.
The Society for Magickal Heritage’s best agents are heading back into paradise. Giddy Gods help them all.
No one ever said heroic adventure would be easy, but this is ridiculous.
Magickal wonderlands aren’t meant to have a dark side. Heroes aren’t meant to get stranded there, either.
Ves may be up for anything, but she hadn’t expected that pretty much anything would be up for her.
And with a horde of unhappy spirits enjoying a direct line to Zareen’s psyche, it’s lucky she’s unbreakable... right?
Mysteries deepen and madness abounds in three more Modern Magick adventures: The Wonders of Vale, The Heart of Hyndorin, and Alchemy and Argent.
It’s all very well deciding to build the means to save British magick. Top marks for ambitious goals! ...But there are one or two obstacles in the way.
For one, said means does not yet exist, and it’ll take a genius to sort that one out. Luckily, we’ve got one of those. We call him Orlando.
For another, nothing at all can be built without materials, and no common-or-garden commodities will do. It’s got to be silver. The impossibly rare, virtually extinct kind.
This one’s on me, Val and Jay.
So it’s down into the depths of history in search of the answer. Could the crackpot alchemists of ages past really turn lead into magickal silver?
Everyone says it’s impossible. But if we can’t find a way to conquer the impossible, what’s to become of magick?
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...?
Stranded far from home, and unable to return, I am in bigger trouble than ever.
I know I say that a lot, but this time it's really true.
Not that there aren’t advantages to my particular predicament. If one must put up with a dangerous degree of magickal potency, one is duty-bound to… put it to use, no? Who knows what could happen?
Certainly nothing insane, irresponsible and potentially life-threatening. As if.
But we'll need every possible advantage in the Hyndorin Mountains. For there, hidden behind layers of secrets, could be the answers we are looking for.
Answers, questions, and dangers — and the kind of disobliging foe who just won’t stop coming back.
Aided by the serene Emellana (still enigmatic), the delicious Baron (still charming), and the animal-loving Miranda (still irascible), can Jay and I find the way to save modern magick?
“Fun” for all the family...
I haven't heard from my mother in six years — which is why I was surprised to receive a summons from her. The peremptory kind.
With nothing but a set of map co-ordinates to guide me, what exactly was I to expect?
The short answer? Trouble, for Mother Dearest is in rather a lot of it. And like daughter, like mother, for there’s a shiny artefact in the offing, and only a few gigantic lindworms in the way. Who isn’t up for a minor little challenge like that?
It's off to Faerie with us, for the artefact in question was once the property of the legendary King Evelaern; and who doesn't love a nice bit of ancient royal treasure?
Only as it turns out, the declining kingdom of the Yllanfalen may hold some unexpected truths about my past...
Cast away from the Society (sort of) and out on our own, we've got a big problem on our hands - and an exciting prospect, too.
They call it time travel on TV.
Is this the big, fat secret the Hidden Ministry's been keeping? What's the real truth behind that wandering tower?
Answers must be found — in the face of severe opposition from the Ministry, from Ancestria Magicka, and from every Fae Court in existence. Simple.
If only everything wouldn’t keep going wrong. If only a house hadn’t walked off with Jay. If only there wasn’t still a traitor on the loose, and if only Ancestria Magicka wasn’t always up to no good.
With our trusty trio down to two, Zareen and I are going to need some help. Handsome, aristocratic, troll-shaped help, to be precise.
Our mission: track down a vanishing island, save the Striding Spire, and find the way back to 1789.
Oh — and find out what exactly has become of Jay...?
