A darkly comic urban fantasy crime thriller with violent gnome gangs, magical contraband, and a case that spirals out of control.

Gnomes shouldn’t be this dangerous.

In the NYPD’s Supernatural Inquisitors Squad, a Warder has no higher calling than protecting her Claw. Magic, guile, weapons—whatever it takes. Drusilla Nogan has always taken that responsibility seriously.

Except when there’s a cute gnome to talk to.

With a notorious gnome gang tearing through Manhattan, Detective Leery Oriscoe plays bad cop while the gnomes answer with raw, unfettered violence. What starts as another supernatural gang case quickly spirals into something far messier, leaving Leery taking the hits while Dru gets dangerously distracted.

Will Dru notice before Leery gets Gnome Schooled?

Gnome Schooled is Book Six in the Claw & Warder series, perfect for readers who love supernatural crime, sharp humour, and gritty urban fantasy in the vein of Jim Butcher and Helen Harper.
