Sorceress and journalist Daphne Heartstone heads to Peony House, the city's abandoned hospital, in search of a headline, but what she discovers is a dead body and a clue to a hundred-and-fifty-year-old cold case. Detective Hunter Avery, the man Daphne loved and lost, warns her away from the case, but the ghosts of Peony House have demanded her help, and her job is on the line if she doesn't have a story on her editor's desk for Saturday's edition. Daphne has worked hard to escape her past of dark magic and blind ambition, but as she walks the balance between light and dark, she'll learn how many promises she's willing to break to protect the people she loves.
