The Isle of Faerie is a terrible, glorious, wonderful land. The air is warm, the flowers sweet-smelling… and time no longer means quite what you thought it did. There are broken limbs on the grass, and the rivers want to drown you. Rinaldo Device is stranded in a world where his magic of metal-working means nothing. Without his brother. Without a way home. And the worst secret he’s ever kept is about to come spilling out… Back in London, Flavia and Orlando hurry to put a rescue plan together for Rinaldo and the Gloucester children, but they may already be too late. The Queen of Faerie is out for revenge, and no one can stand in her way. Not even an angry princess, a heartbroken daughter, or a mysterious yellow cat. If you enjoy gaslamp fantasy and faerie Victoriana, you’ll love this third volume in the Sparks & Philtres novella series.

It’s time to take history seriously. The cats and humans of Chronos College know that time travel is the best job in the world, and nothing bad can ever happen to them in the past… except that one time they lost a traveller. And that other time they lost a cat. Now they have a chance to make up for past mistakes by rescuing a long lost legend. If only they could convince Professor Boswell, the grumpiest marmalade tabby of all time, to join their mission to the Swinging Sixties, and save one of their own. (Plus pick up a missing piece or two of lost media along the way.) Join Ruthven, Boswell, Monterey and Lovelace on the most chaotic time travel adventure of their lives. Featuring special appearances by Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, famous actress Fleur Shropshire, and the even more famous house where they filmed TV show Cramberleigh between 1964-1986. Time of the Cat is a cozy sci-fi romp through the centuries, featuring academic endnotes, epic friendships, and far more cat hair than is strictly necessary. If you’d rather use time travel to steal the pens of famous writers of history than stop to fill in the proper paperwork, then this is the novel for you.

On board the Caliban, Metis finds a new family of misfit, piratical rogues including the handsome Captain Bones and his dazzling first mate, Calypso.
