The Reader's Retreat: The Hexologists by Josiah Bancroft | Spiced Tea & Fantasy Mystery

In the Victorian-inspired city of Dragmar, husband-and-wife investigative team Isolde "Iz" and Warren Wilby operate as The Hexologists, employing hexes, alchemy, and enchanted relics to solve supernatural cases.
