This book contains references to medical trauma, child abuse, and familial death. Something is afoot in Terra Florens, and Detective Clover Page-Bettencourt is lost. Armed with nothing but their name and cryptic visions of the past, they befriend a peculiar group of misfits, all with secrets of their own. As spring melts the darkness of winter, Clover must relearn the beauty- and dangers- of their world.
However, with the shadows of history poisoning the kingdom, it seems that there is more to fear than the magic-users across the water, in eternal Avindre. With the last king assassinated, his brother, Valentijn, has turned Terra Florens into something unrecognizable, but the smoke of his factories smothers any rebellion in the hearts of his people. Wait for spring. Wait for summer. Wait for a time kinder than today. Detective Clover and the Mystery of The Manor is the first book in the Detective Clover series and creates the foundations of a magic and mystery-filled world.
Inspired by the Victorian era, it is written for fans of history and all enthralled by the fantastical. It is Ad Arnold's debut novel.
