At Litha, fire reveals what glamour hides.
When Olivia Furie, the Fire Crone, accepts an invitation to a secluded island retreat, her fastidious house-piskie, Hamish Mackenzie, smells a mystery. Glamour magic runs high, rivalries simmer beneath the surface, and the solstice ritual promises spectacle—and danger—in equal measure.
When the ceremony goes catastrophically wrong, the retreat becomes a closed circle of suspects, cut off from the mainland by storm, magnetics, and an unstable Veil.
With his sharp-tongued feline partner, Magnus, at his side, Hamish must untangle illusion from intention to expose a killer hiding in plain sight—before the island claims another victim.
A cozy fantasy murder mystery featuring ritual magic, theatrical misdirection, and a cat who would very much like to go home.
