Whispers and Wheatfields

By Talia Balue

A new town. A fresh start. And a shop full of secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Running from a fractured past in Atlanta, Lillie Davis thought she'd found the ultimate escape when she took over Miss Teri's Little Shop of Wonders in the sleepy, backwoods town of Barclays, Georgia. Surrounded by dusty tarot decks, aromatic herbs, and the comforting clatter of small-town life, Lillie wants nothing more than to blend in. But Lillie has a gift-or a curse: she can speak to the dead.

When a prominent town fixture is found dead right outside her shop after closing, the local detectives come knocking, desperate for a lead. Drawn into the investigation, Lillie turns to her tarot cards, only for the spreads to point her away from the town square and deep into the pine woods, toward the long-abandoned Blackwood Inn. An unsolved murder from decades ago still lingers in the inn's crumbling shadows, and the cards insist the old tragedy is bleeding into the present. To catch a modern killer, Lillie must listen to the whispers of the past-before she becomes the next ghost haunting Barclays.
