Tourmaline's Secret — Steve Vassey

Dolphe hoped he'd find solace and retirement in the agricultural commune. Once a miracle worker, a premier thaumaturge at the pinnacle of his career, the backlash from a horrific accident has left him disgraced and destitute. Instead of peace and quiet as a farmer, however, he discovers a host of secrets connected to Tourmaline, a feisty, supposedly orphaned, five-year-old girl with vibrant red and green hair. His quest to unite Tourmaline with her long-lost father brings Dolphe, his talking Great Dane companion, Baldwin, and an enterprising young reporter named Tilly face to face with a heartless prince, a murderous pink tiger, and possibly their own deaths.
