When Brighton Longfield discovers her treasured protection amulet is missing, she knows there is big trouble brewing. Not only does she not have the money to replace the expensive charms used to make it, she finds a note in its place from Langoria Skeenbauer telling her that Tuttlesmiths are not welcome in Coventry.
Brighton confronts the woman in the town square with a crowd of Coventryโs residents watching. Of course, Langoria Skeenbauer is one of the townโs most upstanding citizens, so people assume sheโs innocent and Brighton is nuts. When Langoria is found dead in the cemetery across from Hangmanโs House, Brighton becomes a suspect.
Brighton is the one who discovers the body, and even Thorn is suspicious. But Brightonโs not the only one in town who wanted Langoria deadโWhile Langoria was seen as a model citizen by many, sheโd actually been cruel to many of the witches in Coventry who donโt bear the Skeenbauer name. There are quite a few human residents who arenโt a big fan either. To clear her name, Brightonโs going to need to sweep away all of the lies and misunderstandings that surround the suspicious death.
With her best friend Annika and her familiar Meri on her side, sheโs prepared to do whatever it takes to catch the real murderer. Sheโs desperate to clear her name and fix her relationship with Thorn, but will her quest lead her right into a killerโs snare?
