“I would do anything for you, Edie.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of…”

A sapphic YA romance murder mystery from BookTok sensation and queen of gothic fantasy, Rosie Talbot.

1930s haunted York. Viola Samphire was once part of a coven of four powerful witches, but now only three survive. A devastating fire in an artist’s studio led to Edie dying of smoke inhalation. When Viola discovers that the fire was no accident, she hunts for clues, but she is getting used to a new witch ability – to see ghosts. Most importantly, she can see the ghost of Edie, the witch who died in the fire, and her unrequited love. With the help of her friends, witches Bea and Merle, and her beloved bones she throws to show her fate, Viola knows she will discover who killed Edie. But Vi’s bones are stolen. And children are dying, Vi can see their ghosts. What if everything is connected? A stolen gift, a murderer, an underground network of spirits with corruption rife…

And Viola soon realises that admitting her love for Edie could change the course of their future, could it even bring Edie back from the dead?
