The second Victorian Faerie Tales novel follows a hunted magician and an unreliable faerie towards Whitby.

Olivia Atwater’s Rosemary & Thyme has reached the October 27 release date announced in the authors’ public September update. The second Victorian Faerie Tales novel returns to the gothic historical-fantasy setting introduced in The Witchwood Knot. Clarimonde Betony has lost the security of her ordinary London life.

Branded a black magician and pursued by an unknown threat, she joins forces with Lord Foxglove, a faerie adviser whose talent for dishonesty makes him a difficult ally. Their journey leads towards a weapon in Whitby and the dangerous hospitality of the Leanansidhe. The author’s book page frames that encounter around a

particular problem: Clarimonde’s honesty may prove disastrous in a place governed by temptation and deceit. The release update confirmed the ebook was completed and locked with retailers. It discussed physical editions separately, so readers should check their chosen format’s current listing rather than assume every

edition ships together. Source: Official announcement or publisher listing. Image credit: Olivia Atwater; official cover.
