As an agent of the Society for Magickal Heritage, I, Cordelia Vesper, have an important job: rescue endangered creatures, artefacts, books and spells wherever they are to be found.It's a tough job, but somebody's got to keep British magick alive.So we rescued a valuable book from a long-lost library, only it proved to be unusually... chatty. And it's got a foul mouth, too. What manner of weird magick is this?Somebody else thinks it's pretty interesting, too. Ancestria Magicka, they call themselves.Brand new.

As agents of the Society for Magickal Heritage, Cordelia "Ves" Vesper and Jay Patel have 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 them the length and breadth of Britain, and frequently gets them into trouble...
