Klappentext

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.
