    Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
    Bookstore owner and witch Lily Michaels has a never-ending list of to-do items as the maid of honor for her best friends’upcoming St. Patrick’s Day wedding. The last thing she has time for is another mystery. But with a missing wedding dress, the discovery of a pair of leprechaun boots, and a body in a bathtub, she’s ready to mesh her love of puzzles and a little magic to help solve the crime. Even if her fiancé —Gage Erikson of the Pembroke Cove police department— is determined to keep her out of trouble and safe. 
    Good luck with that. 
    Lily is going to need more than the luck of the Irish to solve the murder while a group of treasure hunters, friends of the deceased, are in town. Only they’re not grieving. They’re focused on finding a pirate captain’s gold, which—according to legend—the rocky coast of Pembroke Cove keeps hidden…and is only accessible during three days in March. 
    Will Lily’s luck hold with a wedding in shambles and a murderer skulking in the shadows? She needs to follow the clues to solve the case but can her witchy skills save her when the final clue leads her to the murderer?

    A year after a devastating global meteor shower, botanist Dr. Elena Vasquez discovers something extraordinary in an Amazon impact crater: an impossibly beautiful alien flower with shimmering, otherworldly petals and an intoxicating fragrance. These "Astraflora" begin appearing worldwide, captivating humanity with their ethereal beauty and becoming a global obsession. 
    Marcus Chen, a San Francisco florist, becomes one of the first victims of what the flowers truly are—a sophisticated alien intelligence using beauty as a weapon. The Astraflora's golden pollen contains microscopic spores that infiltrate human nervous systems, causing rapid-onset dementia that transforms victims into zombie-like "Hollows" before their bodies explosively release millions more spores. 
    Despite warnings from Elena and CDC epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Williams, the world remains enchanted by the flowers until it's too late. The Astraflora spread exponentially through cultivation and natural dispersal, triggering a pandemic that collapses human civilization within months. Only one percent of humanity proves genetically immune to the spores' effects. 
    The immune survivors, led by Elena's research group, retreat to remote sanctuaries as cities fall silent and nature begins reclaiming the Earth. The Hollows become gardeners of the alien flowers, tending vast carpets of Astraflora that transform the planet's ecology. Over decades, the survivors learn that the aliens aren't destroyers but cosmic gardeners—an ancient intelligence that travels between worlds, helping species transcend their limitations or removing those that threaten planetary health. 
    Fifty years later, humanity has adapted to coexist with the Astraflora consciousness, developing symbiotic relationships that enhance human capabilities. Two centuries on, Earth has become a living paradise where humans and aliens form a hybrid consciousness, eventually making contact with a galactic network of similarly transformed worlds.

    Her dad said nothing could hurt their relationship. But what if he isn't her dad? 
    Summer gets off to a rocky start for twenty-year-old Rae Riley when con man Uncle Troy returns to Marlin County, Ohio. Rae's father, Sheriff Walter "Mal" Malinowski, warns her to steer clear of Troy, who conned 5 cousins from the outlaw branch of the family to jump him a few years ago. 
    But it seems like wherever Rae goes, Troy lurks on the edges. When she and her cousins find Troy beat up outside a local mall, Rae's desire to help anyone in trouble kicks in. But this only leads to trouble and the horrible conclusion that Troy might be her birth father. Even worse, Mal is angry at Rae for endangering them all. 
    Then Ashley, the ex-wife of family friend Jason Carlisle returns to the county, claiming their youngest child Sylvie isn't his, but the daughter of her new fiancé. Ashley and her boyfriend say they are staying at the state park so she can see her children. Jason fears they want to sneak a DNA sample from Sylvie and hires Rae's aunt Carrie, a PI, to protect his kids. 
    When Rae agrees to help Ashley speak to Jason secretly, Mal is furious, leading to Rae's first fight with her newly found father. Although Mal apologizes, Rae senses a gulf between. What would happen if Rae found proof Mal wasn't her dad? 
    When Ashley disappears, Jason and his brother Rick are the main suspects. Mal leads the official investigation, while Rae and Carrie work to discover what really happened, and Rae conducts her own research into Troy's claim. 
    The clues mount up and the mystery only grows murkier. As doubts grow into a storm, Rae is faced with something much worse than a puzzle--a battle to survive. And it's not just her life at stake.
