Synopsis

It’s the Autumn of 1666, and the Great Fire is still burning, the ashes of hundreds of houses and shops and St. Paul’s Cathedral choking the air. The people, too, are choking, raging at the French, the Dutch, at the foreigners who—they are certain—lit the torch. Lord Arlington, the Secretary of State, might conceivably be interested in harnessing this anger; it can be so useful, at times, to have the population united in loathing of a common enemy. But this is not one of those times. And inconveniently, a Frenchman—clearly an insane Frenchman—has confessed to setting the fire. He did it with an accomplice, he says. And he subsequently killed the accomplice. It’s all most irritating for Arlington, or it would be if he didn’t have John Grey on call. Go poke around the smoldering ruins, Arlington says. Find me a convenient fall guy. Make this problem go away.

    Meet Sage Poe—witch, programmer, and amateur detective. She thought the hardest part of summer would be helping Bone Gap adjust to its newly-revealed magical nature. Then they found the body at the cemetery gates. When a bearded stranger turns up dead outside Bone Gap Cemetery with no visible wounds but unmistakable magical residue, the official ruling is natural causes. But Sage knows better. What begins as an unofficial investigation soon uncovers a famous musician in hiding, ancient demonic contracts, and creative energy harvested like crop. 
     
     
     
    Enter Aunt Hecate—whose improving magical dementia hides a sacrifice spanning decades. Her mind wasn't clouded by age but by choice—a demonic bargain made before Sage's youngest sister was born. Now the same demon has come to collect another debt, and the connection hits closer to home than anyone suspected. Meanwhile, Sheriff Emmet Quill finds himself caught between upholding the law and helping the woman he loves investigate forces beyond mortal jurisdiction. As Bone Gap fractures between those embracing their magical reality and those fighting against it, even their relationship hangs in the balance. With magical ley lines converging beneath three cemeteries, shadowy figures captured in photographs, and melodies that hide protection spells, Sage must solve the case before more souls pay the ultimate price.
