Hobgoblin Night by Teresa Edgerton

Description

Bizarre things are happening in the little town of Hobb's Church, where Sera, Elsie, and Jedidiah are hiding from the vengeance of the Duchess. While Jed and the lensmaker Mr. Jonas construct a magical engine to raise a sunken island, the young ladies must deal with ghosts, hobgoblins, and a school of mischievous girls. On the other side of the world, Francis Skelbrooke decoys the Duchess's spies, leading them on a chase across the continent of Euterpe (stopping every now and then to bring show more a villain or two to account). But the vengeful fairy has other spies: one of them in Hobb's Church. THIS VOLUME ALSO CONTAINS THREE SHORT STORIES. show less

The sequel to Goblin Moon and wraps up the story. The editing process seemed to be better - I didn't spot any stray hyphens.

The heroines and heroes have apparently escaped their enemies by travelling to the New World and are residing there. However, the Duchess is still bent on her revenge and tracks them down... We see more of troll and gnome society (having been introduced to human and dwarf society in the earlier novel), and are introduced to a race of hobgoblins who are more advanced and civilised than their cousins in the old world in Euterpe. The story ends with a double wedding, the raising of a sunken island, and with the death of the Duke, the Duchess looses her taste for revenge...

The book includes 3 short stories - Rogue's show more Moon, The Ghost in the Chimney, and Titania or the Celestial Bed. The first 2 are set in the same world as the Mask and Dagger series, the last is not but matches the world stylistically. Not owning a paper version of this book (unlike Goblin Moon), I can't tell whether they are bonus material or not. show less
