Young widow Annabel Chalfont, Countess of Fellbridge, has two small sons to raise, a mountain of her late husband's debts to pay off, and a secret: she's a shadow-shaper, able to manipulate shadow as anyone else might clay. She and six other high-born ladies with equally extraordinary abilities defend England against supernatural crime-but the world knows them only as the Lady Patronesses of Almack's, Regency London's most exclusive social venue.

This volume includes the fourth, fifth, and sixth installments of The Ladies of Almack's series:

The Cursed Canvases: Who is magically vandalizing the pictures at the Royal Exhibition? When art becomes artillery, the Ladies take notice.

Turmoil on the Thames: When the King's birthday celebration at Eton is crashed by uninvited guests who threaten to eat the students, it's a good thing that the Ladies of Almack's are at hand...

An Event at Epsom: A horse is a horse, of course-or is it? Annabel and the Ladies must attend the races at Epsom to investigate a very unusual steed.
