Time of Trial

In the latest in this utterly addictive series, magical genius Aubrey Fitzwilliam is heading into the heart of enemy territory. It’s lucky that he has his friends by his side.

It may look like a simple wire device, but the Beccaria Cage could be the cure for Aubrey’s condition: a way to reunite his body and soul. But can Aubrey solve its mysteries while Dr Tremaine’s warmongering machinations gather pace?

After magical confrontations, near-death experiences and the appearance of new allies and new enemies, Aubrey decides that there is only one thing to do: carry the fight to the enemy. Thanks to a fortuitously timed symposium, Aubrey, George and Caroline accompany Lady Rose and Prince Albert to Holmland – into the heart of hostile territory – only to find a city infested with ghosts, brigands and shadowy figures with agendas of their own.

Fisherberg is a city on a knife edge. While trying to prevent a war, could Aubrey Fitzwilliam inadvertently trigger one?
