Choose your retailer
About the book
In this “miraculous and thrilling” (Diane Setterfield, #1 New York Times bestselling author) gothic mystery for fans of The Essex Serpent and The Book of Speculation, Victorian London comes to life as an intrepid female sleuth wades through a murky world of collectors and criminals to recover a remarkable child.
Bridie Devine—flame-haired, pipe-smoking detective extraordinaire—is confronted with the most baffling puzzle yet: the kidnapping of Christabel Berwick, secret daughter of Sir Edmund Athelstan Berwick, and a peculiar child whose reputed supernatural powers have captured the unwanted attention of collectors in this age of discovery.
Winding her way through the sooty streets of Victorian London, Bridie won’t rest until she finds the young girl, even if it means unearthing secrets about her past that she’d rather keep buried. Luckily, her search is aided by an enchanting cast of characters, including a seven-foot-tall housemaid; a melancholic, tattoo-covered ghost; and an avuncular apothecary. But secrets abound in this foggy Victorian underworld where nothing is quite what it seems.
Blending darkness and light, Things in Jars is a stunning, “richly woven tapestry of fantasy, folklore, and history” (Booklist, starred review) that explores what it means to be human in inhumane times.

A warm fit for readers who like cozy fantasy, magical creatures, sapphic romance, workplace settings, and rivals growing closer.
The Phoenix Keeper
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Cozy Fantasy
Our take
An instant Sunday Times bestseller, The Phoenix Keeper follows socially anxious zookeeper Aila as she tries to save an endangered phoenix species and reluctantly turns to her glamorous college rival Luciana for help, with a 3.8-star average from more than 11,500 Goodreads ratings. A warm fit for readers who like cozy fantasy, magical creatures, sapphic romance, workplace settings, and rivals growing closer.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Set in a magical zoo teeming with mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper is a fierce joy of a cozy fantasy novel with a soul-restoring queer romance at its heart, for fans ofThe House in the Cerulean Sea and Legends and Lattes.
Aila has spent her entire life dreaming of saving phoenixes.
She pulled countless all-nighters at uni just to sneak a toe in the door of the breathtakingly competitive field of conservation, stumbling through failed romance and disastrous class presentations thanks to social anxiety, while also surviving a ferocious class rivalry with the (unbearably beautiful) insufferably hotshot Luciana.
Somehow, she actually did it: landed her dream job as head phoenix keeper at the world-renowned zoo that inspired her as a child, tasked with rescuing the critically endangered Silimalo phoenix from the brink of extinction.
There are just two or three (thousand) impossible problems.
- She can't act sensibly around the charming dragon keeper, Connor.
- Her plans to revive the phoenix programme are more precarious than ever, after a poacher attack at a neighbouring zoo.
- Her best chance at success means teaming up with the star of the zoo, the universally adored griffin keeper, the hotshot showmaster of the most popular exhibit . . .
Yes, of course it's Luciana.
