    Some family heirlooms are priceless. Others come with ghosts and a to-do list. 
    Julie Hayward’s life is spiraling into sitcom territory minus the laugh track. Her once-charming family estate is a money pit with a roof held together by sheer willpower. Her pompous, soon-to-be ex-fiancé thinks selling it is the only sane option.  
    Enter Gustavia, her best friend and self-proclaimed spiritual advisor, who decides Julie needs a psychic reading to set her life straight. Instead of vague fortune-cookie wisdom, Julie’s dead grandparents show up to say there’s a treasure hidden in the house. And, lucky her, it’s now her job to find it. 
    What Julie doesn’t have is a map, instructions, or the first clue where to start. What she does have is a dream team of friends: Gustavia, Queen of woo woo; Amethyst, an aura-reading DIYer; and Kat, a blind psychic who still somehow knows when you’re rolling your eyes.  
    Add in Tyler Kingsley, a charming historian with a swoon-worthy smile and an inconvenient habit of making Julie rethink her entire life, and things are about to get very interesting. 
    Now, when Julie’s neck-deep in cryptic clues for a treasure hunt that’s equal parts Indiana Jones and home improvement nightmare, her slimy ex-fiancé pops back up, bringing trouble with him. Between dodging his schemes, searching the house, and wondering if Tyler’s crooked grin might actually be flirting, Julie’s in over her head.  
    If Julie doesn’t solve the mystery, she might lose everything—including the house, her friends, and maybe even her chance at happily ever after.

    FBI K-9 handler Meg Jennings can never walk away from her job, even amid her Hawaiian Islands honeymoon, where she and her search-and-rescue black Lab encounter a double threat from wildlife poachers and Mother Nature. 
      
    After a difficult assignment and the excitement of her wedding to firefighter Todd Webb, Meg is more than ready for two weeks of sun, sea, and gorgeous Hawaiian scenery. Her K-9 partner, Hawk, accompanies Meg and Todd to their resort, reveling in his celebrity status with both staff and guests. After a week of relaxation, all three are ready to get out into nature on the Big Island, where Meg and Hawk can practice search strategies. 
      
    In the remote fern forest of Pu‘u Maka‘ala Natural Area Reserve, Hawk’s senses are on high alert. When Meg lets him leave the path, they encounter two men trapping bright birds. The poachers escape, leaving their bounty behind, and when agents from the FBI and US Fish and Wildlife arrive, they confirm that the birds are all endangered species near extinction. Super-wealthy collectors acquire them for private zoos, with no regard for the birds’ survival. Alive or dead, these beautiful creatures are merely trophies. 
      
    Meg, Todd, and Hawk join an official search using a local conservation dog to pinpoint vulnerable nesting grounds in an attempt to protect trafficked wildlife and to stop the poachers in their tracks. But beyond the threat posed by determined poachers lurks another danger—Mauna Loa, one of the island’s active volcanoes, has been grumbling, and is poised to turn this mission into their most terrifying yet.

    Paloma is dead. But before she was murdered, before she was even Paloma, she was a traditional healer named Gaspar. Before she was murdered, she taught her cousin Feliciana the secrets of the ceremonies known as veladas, and about the Language and the Book that unlock their secrets. 
     
     
      
    Sent to report on Paloma's murder, Zoe meets Feliciana in the mountain village of San Felipe. There, the two women's lives twist around each other in a danse macabre. Feliciana tells Zoe the story of her struggle to become an accepted healer in her community, and Zoe begins to understand the hidden history of her own experience as a woman, finding her way in a hostile environment shaped by and for men. 
     
     
      
    Weaving together two parallel narratives that mirror and refract one another, this extraordinary novel envisions the healer as storyteller and the writer as healer, and offers a generous and nuanced understanding of a world that can be at turns violent and exultant, cruel and full of hope.
