Fern Holloway has built her life on carefully measured control and remedies, predictable routines, and magic that never stays beyond the proper bounds. Until someone starts using it to kill. When a quiet death in her village begins to look anything but natural, Fern is drawn into an investigation that leads far beyond simple poisons and into something older, stranger...and deliberately hidden. As more victims surface, each connected by a subtle and dangerous thread, Fern uncovers whispers of a forbidden formula so powerful it can twist outcomes itself. With the help of a guarded ally and a sharp-eyed cat who speaks in unsettling rhymes, Fern must untangle a web of secrets before the next life is claimed Because Fern Holloway, the deadliest magic, isn't the kind you see coming.
