Detective Cordelia Jones accepts a case that brings her and her partner, Annette Baker, across the sea to Kereland - an island known for its rich folklore and cantankerous people. Her mission: expose the coven of witches terrorizing the emerging city of Fieldston.

Never one for a straightforward mystery, Cordelia's newest case brings her face-to-face with a terrifying fear - that the magic of this coven might not be all smoke and mirrors. Meanwhile, Annette grapples with returning to her birthlands, struggling to make sense of her place amidst Kereland's sluggish recovery from a devastating famine.

The detective duo find themselves pushed to the brink, scrambling to make sense of the power of the coven, the history of this land, and the challenges of navigating their secret relationship with one another...

A sequel to Baker and Jones - The Winchester Conspiracy.
