Boy of Chaotic Making
A boy like no other embarks on a transformative journey of magic and self-discovery in the next enchanting Whimbrel House novel by bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.
Merritt Fernsby’s life has changed considerably since he inherited Whimbrel House. He’s engaged to Hulda Larkin, who opened his eyes to the uncanny. And he’s grown quite protective of his uncle Owein―several generations, and iterations, removed. Owein is presently inhabiting the body of a mixed-breed terrier when Merritt receives a missive from none other than Alexandrina Victoria, the Queen of England: I am interested in your dog.
It’s the queen’s duty to the peerage to keep British wizardry empowered. Her offer: England will find a human vessel for Owein, marry him into the royal family, and add this remarkable soul-shifter to its lineage. For Owein, a boy trapped in the body of a pup, it’s a dream come true. How can Merritt refuse? However, once they are in London and in consortium with a necromancer, the situation doesn’t feel right, both with their hosts and the house they inhabit. Owein is having nightmares. And Hulda’s premonitions warn of danger in Merritt’s future. Clearly, someone doesn’t want them in town.
But after two hundred years of being cursed to drift, Owein is determined to chart his own destiny. He’s ready to defy whatever chaos is coming. After all, Owein is the master of chaos, and with Merritt and Hulda’s love and magical support, he can overcome anything.

Cozy Pairings
Vanilla & Cashmere is a soft and luxurious fragrance that blends creamy vanilla with warm sandalwood, gentle musk, and smooth cashmere notes. Subtle and refined, this scent feels clean, comforting, and quietly indulgent. The warmth of vanilla is balanced by light woods and soft musk, creating a smooth, layered aroma that lingers beautifully without overpowering. It brings a sense of calm and ease to any space, like wrapping yourself in something soft at the end of the day.
Why we chose this: Whimbrel House does not want to let its new owner leave, and it is difficult to argue with a house that has opinions. From the first arrival of Merritt and Hulda to Owein's long journey toward his own destiny, this series is about found family, enchanted spaces, and the slow, warm work of belonging somewhere. Vanilla + Cashmere carries the soft, enveloping quality of a series this gently atmospheric, the scent of something quietly indulgent that settles around you before you have decided to stay. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood fill the room like a house in the Narragansett Bay that has been waiting a very long time for exactly the right people to arrive.
