“Ad Arnold is an inspiration, a magician, a young, tall, handsome man of few words.” (Rad Rarnold, 2024)
“Arnold is the greatest author of our time! What time is that, you ask? Oh, um. Give me a moment.” (Probably a Vampire, 2024)

“And all at once, they understood just how large the world truly was, how great and shocking the very nature of existence could be. From the smallest grain to the largest creature, millions of choices and paths determined their end. But how useless their end was in the grand scheme of life! Worms eaten by fish; fish eaten by man; man eaten by worms. They were the slightest experience experiencing many other experiences. They were nothing, but simultaneously they were all. Once the worms died, they would return again, and again, and again, until they were spread around the world, into the very core of Lethe.

Something is afoot in Terra Florens, and Detective Clover Page-Bettencourt is lost. Armed with nothing but their name and cryptic visions of the past, they befriend a peculiar group of misfits, all with secrets of their own.
As spring melts the darkness of winter, Clover must relearn the beauty– and dangers– of their world. However, with the shadows of history poisoning the kingdom, it seems that there is more to fear than the magic-users across the water, in eternal Avindre.
With the last king assassinated, his brother, Valentijn, has turned Terra Florens to something unrecognizable, but the smoke of his factories smother any rebellion in the hearts of his people.
Wait for spring. Wait for summer. Wait for a time kinder than today.
Detective Clover and the Mystery of The Manor– Ad Arnold's debut novel– is the first book in the Detective Clover series and creates the foundations of a magic and mystery-filled world. Inspired by the Victorian era, it is written for fans of history and all enthralled by the fantastical.
