In this third book in the series (Flora Segunda; Flora's Dare) Flora decides to undertake a magical working to discover her mother's whereabouts. In a setting so vivid as to be nearly garish, in a narrative peppered with archaic vocabulary (abacination, aiguillettes) and made-up imprecations (fiking hell!), Flora takes readers on another thrilling, bizarre ride.
