Changeling Avery Hemlock and human Saga Trygg are back on the case when a witch is murdered and the clues point Saga toward her own family's buried secrets.
When a notorious witch turns up dead under impossible circumstances, Avery Hemlock is called in to investigate—and Saga Trygg finds herself pulled right back into the mess of fey politics, curses, and conspiracies she swore she didn't want to touch.
The deeper Avery and Saga dig, the stranger it gets: cursed artifacts gone missing, case files sealed by the mysterious Winter Council, and a web of secrets that somehow all lead back to Saga's family. Meanwhile, Avery's sharp tongue and bad habits aren't exactly making friends in the courtroom—or helping her avoid the pull of her infuriatingly endearing neighbor.
With murders piling up and the line between justice and revenge growing thinner, Saga and Avery will have to decide who they can trust, what they're willing to risk, and just how much trouble a murderer with nothing left to lose can stir up.
