Mysteries of Thorn Manor

To get out of the magical trap that is holding Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and Silas within Thorn Manor in time for their Midwinter Ball, they must solve it in this novella sequel to Sorcery of Thorns!

At last, Elisabeth Scrivener is getting used to her new life as a sorceress alongside Nathaniel Thorn. With the return of their demon friend Silas comes the scrutiny of sly reporters eager to learn rumors about the most potent sorcerer in the city and the librarian who won his love. However, there's a peculiar thing going on at Thorn Manor: the estate's wards, who are there to protect their home, are misbehaving and snatching the residents inside by force. The coincidence that this occurred at the same time as Elisabeth and Nathaniel began to get more intimate must be real.

With no access to the outside world, Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and Silas - along with their new maid Mercy - will have to work together to discover the source of the magic behind the malfunctioning wards before they're due to host the city's Midwinter Ball. It's not an easy chore when Elisabeth can't stop thinking about peacefully kissing Nathaniel and the home is full of surprising mysteries. But Elisabeth and Nathaniel will need to rely more than ever on their bond to make things right as it becomes apparent that the house, affected by the magic of Nathaniel's ancestors, demands a price for its allegiance.
