THE HEXOLOGISTS

Sarah Slimani uses crisp consonants and fluid vowels as she inhabits the characters in this paranormal mystery set in an alternative universe where magicians, sorcerers, and powerful creatures hide in the shadows. Isolde Wilby's role as wielder of hexes meshes with her husband Warren's unassuming ways as a protector and a superb chef. Hired to locate the king's missing signet ring, the pair must delve into the past, locate missing comrades, and survive wild magic, aided by a clever dragon with a posh voice. Once Isolde and Warren get over the shock of a mandrake attack and the sudden appearance of magical objects, the mystery takes hold, and the tension mounts.
