The Warlock and the Wolf

Mina stands up for animals. But can she stand up to her parents' killer? Descended from freed slaves, orphan Mina trains as a scientist in The Hague. She studies the animals in the nearby woods and saves them from harm whenever she can—much to her mentor’s dismay. And, of course, as a good scientist, she doesn’t believe in magic. But when her parents’ killer, rumored to be a warlock, escapes from prison and kills again, she must question everything she knows in order to solve a mystery and save her world from destruction. Book 1 of The Naturalist takes the reader on a magical adventure into the Dutch Golden Age.
