Wizard of Most Wicked Ways
When dead enemies rise, grave matters of the heart, mind, and body clash in the fantastical fourth Whimbrel House novel by bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.
Whimbrel House is changing. Merritt and Hulda are raising a family. Owein has signed a marriage contract with the magically compatible Lady Cora, a heavyweight of British nobility who’s an ocean away. And the lovely shape-shifting druid Fallon makes a distractingly fetching friend for Owein. But another change is in the air, and this time it’s something wicked.
The greatest wizard of the millennium, Silas Hogwood, is back―after five years dead. New body, same foul scent, and driven by madness and revenge. Owein, fearing he isn’t strong enough to fend off Silas, seeks Cora’s help and influence in England. Alarms ringing, Queen Victoria dispatches her League of Magicians, including her personal necromancer, to aid in Owein’s defense.
As magic, both good and evil, converges on Blaugdone Island, Owein realizes how harrowing the forces against them are. Combating them will require some digging―literally―for half-formed secrets of magic Hulda doesn’t want him to have. But no promise, lock, or government red tape will keep Owein from doing what’s necessary to protect those he loves. One way or another, Silas will only take Whimbrel House over Owein’s third dead body.

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.

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.
