Victoria of Many Faces volume 2. Nonna is running ahead of Victoria and Captain Jeff. Victoria is holding a bag of groceries. Nonna is in a blue dress.
Adapted by Komo Ushino, character design by Nanna Fujimi

The fallout of the soirée means Victoria is on the radar of the Royal family of Ashbury, and that’s not exactly where a spy in hiding wants to be. She starts some light fighting training with Nonna, mostly self-defense and the art of running away spiritedly. Later, she starts a new job tutoring Captain Jeffrey’s nephew, who has gone through many tutors and has gotten the reputation of being a difficult child. Victoria teaches both Nonna and her new charge and her teaching methods integrate the power of play as much as possible despite this coming across to observers as unconventional teaching methods.

Cover of Helen of Wyndhorn. Helen sits on a stump in a black skirt and yellow blouse. Her red hair is curled and pinned back. Behind her are swirls of blue and green ferns. Behind that is the Wyndhorn estate with a purple sunset.

But Helen's grandfather sends a governess to fetch her and bring her back to the sprawling estates of Wyndhorn. Instead of conforming to the ways of a dutiful granddaughter, Helen discovers the wine cellar. But soon, Helen realizes that the adventures and larger-than-life character that made C. K. Cole famous may have been inspired by the mysterious grounds surrounding Wyndhorn and the looming figure of her very own grandfather.
