Wormwood Abbey

By: Baehr, Christina

As a Victorian clergyman's daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything - until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap.

When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling Gothic abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire. Wormwood Abbey isn't just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there's also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbour who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.

An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world - especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family's legacy.

But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap...and some of them have teeth.

WORMWOOD ABBEY, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cosy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship.

Start exploring the hidden valley of Ormdale in 1899 with WORMWOOD ABBEY, the first in five book series.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic opener to a wonderful series!

I will admit - I'm not the biggest fan of dragons. Sharp teeth and fire-breathing and the idea of being on the menu - yeah, not my cup of tea. BUT Ms. Baehr's Edith and the world of Ormdale are very much my style - full of surprises, family, friendship, unlikely pets, and a dash of magic with lots of tea! Also, I found no terrifying battles between knights and bloodthirsty beasts :) I'm very ready for the next book in this series! PS-I must thank my GoodReads and Instagram friends for bringing this series to my attention. They are the best!
