Zara Riddle has finally found work-life-magic balance when someone from her past arrives to destroy everything.
Rhys Quarry wasn't much of a father to Zara. He swears everything's different now, but some people never change. Soon he's teaching his con man ways to his granddaughter. If only he could teach her something useful.
When a member of the magical community goes missing, Zara joins the search. When she and Zinnia find a trio of ghosts, the search becomes a murder investigation. The local police say they'll solve the case, but how can they? Their top detective is distracted, wandering around town feeding the wildlife and talking about conspiracies.
Cracking this case will mean busting out some new spells - the dangerous kind that a witch can't cast on her own. The three Riddles team up as they move into uncharted territory. Unfortunately for them, danger isn't far behind.
Zara and her family face their biggest foe yet. To survive, they'll have to access magic they've never used before. When the confrontation turns deadly, no one will be walking away untouched.
Change is in the air, and it's not going to be pretty.
