Winter Solstice, the most important holiday of the year, is rapidly approaching, and Seraphina Wistozus—Wiz to her friends—has a lot to do. There are criminal cases to wrap up, clients to appease, last-minute visitors to prepare for, and gifts to consider. Not to mention that all these tasks would be much easier to accomplish if her employer, one Istovir Holviiryn, didn’t keep getting distracted by news of a jewel theft that has nothing to do with them. Can Wiz juggle all these tasks, keep her employer reined in, and maybe even have a festive Solstice herself? A Goose of Gold is a short story in the fantasy-inspired Sherlock Holmes retelling series The Adventures of Wiz and Hollow , and takes place at the end of Ventures in Vermilion , the first book in the series.
