Family Cursebreakers

Bella Hathaway is on the case after inheriting her aunt's townhouse full of dangerous artefacts and talking teapots. Only problem? She's not a cursebreaker. Bella has always been the quiet member of the daredevil Hathaway family, translating magical languages, wearing sensible skirts and avoiding perilous adventure.With the help of the beast next door and his sprawling library, it's time for Bella to step up to her family legacy, translate an untranslatable demon language, locate two archaeologists who went missing twenty-five years earlier, and figure out exactly why her aunt teamed up with a gang of gargoyle-stealing werewolves.Bella may be out of her element, but she's not going to let that stop her from solving this cold-blooded crime.

Whatever happened to Colin Hathaway and Tag Gardiner, the dashing archaeologists famed for their rivalry and their smouldering looks to camera, who went inexplicably missing twenty-five years ago after opening the long-lost Brass Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh?Who was the Nameless Pharaoh, what was their connection to the end of the Demon Age, and why did they obsessively collect gargoyles?Is it true that Hathaway and Gardiner were spotted recently on the streets of Lyceum, without having aged a day since their disappearance?What is the connection to Charlotte Hathaway, the infamous cursebreaker recently killed in mysterious circumstances?Why would two archaeologists, recently released from an ancient curse, agree to attend a house party at Hangling Manor, featuring several rogue academics, a former Earl and his chilly Countess, a secret staircase, at least one cursed member of the family (the answer may surprise you!), a sinister barrow of a long-dead demon lord and…Oh yes, MORE GARGOYLES?One thing's for sure: Hathaway and Gardiner are on the case. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
