Old Magick. New World.
In the 21st century, little remains of magick save scattered, beleaguered pockets of magickal community and scholarship - and a vast, but rapidly decaying, heritage. How can any of it survive the pace of modern life?
As an agent of the Society for Magickal Heritage, Cordelia Ves Vesper has 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 her the length and breadth of Britain, and frequently gets her into trouble. But somebody's got to keep magick alive in the modern world, and Ves is more than equal to the job.
The Road to Farringale: In this first adventure, Ves meets her new partner, the Waymaster Jay. Their mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that's decimating Britain's troll enclaves - and fix it. Simple in theory, tricky in practice, for the only place that might hold the information they need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale...
Toil and Trouble: Having rescued a valuable book from a long-lost library, Jay's joy turns to dismay when it proves to be unusually... chatty. What manner of enchantment created such a powerful book is a mystery Ves is determined to solve. She's not the only one, for the organisation known as Ancestria Magicka badly wants the book...
The Striding Spire: Fresh from an involuntary crash course in the Stranger Arts, Ves has a new mystery to solve: the inexplicable reappearance of an extinct species. The Dappledok Pup has not been seen in the flesh since the eighteenth century -- so how does one come to be found, weak but alive, over two hundred years later? Where did the pup come from -- and is there something sinister afoot?
Animated Architecture introduces the vivid characters, wild adventures, and unique magical Britain of Modern Magick. The collection also includes a step back in time with Let the Chips Fall Where They May, a Cordelia Vesper origin story.
