New Characters in the 3rd and 4th Books

In addition to the characters you’ve already met in The Dire Deeds and The Witching Work, the third book, The Queerest Quest, and the fourth book, The Perilous Past, have additional characters, including new villians.

In The Queerest Quest, which takes place in Northern California and Oregon, our Hermits and Elves assist Lucky LaFey (a human form of the Norse god Loki Laufeyjarson) as he searches for Váli, his missing son. Sigyn, Váli’s mother, makes an appearance in the book, as does Angrboda the Chiefess of the Iron Wood, and all seventeen of Loki’s “witch daughters.” And Vesta returns. Sophie, a new Hermit joins.

Professor Almond and Lucky LaFey (aka Loki) reunite.
“Socks,” the homeless kid, meets Hamfast.
Just some of Loki’s extended family. L to R: Fenrir, Loki, Sigyn, Jormungandr, Angrboda, Hel.
Anna Phylaxia, the villainess, returns in QQ
Samuel Dipp, a villainous guru, in QQ

In The Perilous Past, which takes place in contemporary Oregon and Hawai’i, plus 17th century England, new characters from the seventeenth century appear, and some even show up in the Hermit’s own time! This fourth book reveals the origin story of The Guild of Ornamental Hermits.

Susannah, the Wtichpricker’s Assistant
The Turncoat Familiar
Toledo Jackson and the film crew (Miranda, Shank, and Edie) meet Susannah Phylaxia, time-snatched from the 17th century.
