Greenwing & Dart #1
Stargazy Pie
Victoria Goddard
A Dozen or So Years after the Fall of Astandalas
Magic is out of fashion.
Good manners never are.
Jemis Greenwing returned from university with a broken heart, a bad cold, and no prospects beyond a problematic inheritance and a job at the local bookstore.
Ragnor Bella is a placid little market town on the road to nowhere, where Jemis’ family affairs have always been the main source of gossip. He is determined to keep his head down under the cover of his new employer’s devastating mastery of social etiquette, but falls to the temptation of resuming his friendship with Mr. Dart of Dartington—land agent to his older brother the squire and beloved local daredevil—who is delighted to have Jemis’ company for what is, he assures him, only a very small adventure. Ragnor Bella is known as the dullest town in the whole continent, after all.
Jemis expected the cut direct. The secret societies, criminal gangs, and cult to the old gods come as a complete surprise.
Book One of Greenwing & Dart, fantasies of manners—and mischief.

Botanizing dukes. Riddling dragons. High Gothic melodrama. And all that’s just to get his name in the race. Book Two of Greenwing & Dart, fantasies of manners—and mischief.

Then he’s arrested on suspicion of murder.By magic.Of one of the greatest folk heroes of legend. Trained to be a politically radical gentleman-of-leisure, Jemis thought he was doing fairly well as a bookstore clerk. That, of course, is before he ends up on the run in the Arguty Forest confronting highwaymen, illegal distillers, the odd relation, and the Wild Saint—not to mention the secrets a town truly committed to being infamously dull can hold. Book Three of Greenwing & Dart, fantasies of manners—and mischief.
