When Margaret, Lady Riven, is summoned to Vienna by the famously louche King Thomas III of England to solve a supernatural mystery, her vampiric husband is happy to accompany her. However, neither of them is prepared for the true scope of the danger lurking underneath the dazzling ballrooms of the ancient city... The third sparkling installment of The Unexpected Adventures of Lady and Lord Riven. Note: This publication date is a holding-date only; the author plans to publish this novella earlier in the year if possible.

I grew up in America, but now I live in Wales with my husband, fellow writer Patrick Samphire, our two sons, and our sweet (and extremely vocal) tabby cat, Pebbles. I write fun MG fantasy adventure novels (most recently The Raven Crown duology) and wildly romantic adult historical fantasy novels and novellas (most recently Claws and Contrivances and Good Neighbors). To get early sneak peeks at new stories and novels, sign up for my newsletter here: stephanieburgis.com/newsletter. To join my Dragons' Book Club and get early copies of every ebook that I put out myself (so, all of my novellas, short story ebooks, etc!), check out my Patreon page, where I also published a series of fantasy rom-coms (Good Neighbors) across 2020-2021. I only rate and review the books that I like, which is why all of my ratings are 4 or 5 stars.
