In a town where magic is real and murder is rare, one inexperienced witch must solve two deaths before she becomes the next victim. When Selene Hawthorne arrives in Springvale to claim her inheritance, a potion shop and a house with a cursed garden, she's hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she finds a dead body in her backyard and a sheriff eager to blame her, the newcomer. With no experience in detection (and barely any in witchcraft), Selene must clear her name while juggling a thriving business she doesn't know how to run and caring for a teenage werewolf she accidentally transformed into a baby.
As bodies pile up, Selene discovers that someone in this picturesque supernatural town is willing to kill to protect their secrets. With help from a
sarcastic fae assistant, a handsome shamanic healer, and a coven of well-meaning but eccentric witches, she races to unmask the killer armed with little more than her aunt's grimoire and a knack for brewing potions.
But in Springvale, where trolls practice law, cherubs run coffee shops, and even the cats have agendas, finding the truth is anything but simple. And if Selene can't master her magic in time, she'll lose her shop, her freedom, and maybe even her life.
