City of Serpents

The Secrets of Ormdale, Book 4

By: Christina Baehr

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden

Edith is ready for the mad scientist and the snake-infested laboratory, but is she ready to admit she needs a little help from her friends?

Edith is convinced that Janushek's former employer, the mysterious Doctor Farley, holds the key to an antidote for dragon venom—her only hope to free the man she loves. Her ruse to obtain it leads her to London's shadowy East End and a plot as sensational as one of her own detective novels.

As Edith goes deeper into a city far more serpentine than she ever dreamed, she begins to question what Farley is really searching for…and if the cost to save Simon might be more than she can pay.

Book 4 of The Secrets of Ormdale takes Edith from the heights of London society to its darkest slums, where unexpected dragons follow and her survival lies not in her hands, but in the hands of her friends.

Superb performance of a fabulous book!

I bought the audio because I love the book series so much. Elizabeth Knowelden has made me appreciate the exceptional “pen” of Christina Baehr even more. It was like discovering the books all over again! Such a gift when I was saddened by the series ending soon…and the cliffhanger at the end! I’m desperate to hear book 5, Valley of Dragons. Anyone reading this, definitely start with the first book Wormwood Abbey. The series is recommended for all ages maybe 10+ with no age limit. They are no spice, cozy/adventure/exciting, positive family vibes, sloooow burn romance, gothic/Victorian, occasionally hilarious, with historically accurate dragons!
You can thank me later.
