Mysteries of the Magical Hollow (BOOK 7_ MAGIC & MALICE)

A fairy is dead. The sheriff is losing control. And Ember may be the only person who can save him.

Ember Rose thought she had finally learned how to balance motherhood, magic, work, and murder investigations. Then everything goes sideways at once.

When Shayna is found dead, Starry Hollow's tight-knit supernatural community erupts with suspicion. Her complicated history, business rivalries, former relationships, and sharp tongue give Ember plenty of possible suspects—but the case becomes much more dangerous when Sheriff Granger Nash starts behaving unlike himself.

Something is wrong with the sheriff.

As strange incidents and magical violence begin affecting people throughout town, Ember realizes the cases may be connected. But before she can determine who is behind them, she has to confront a more terrifying possibility: Granger himself may be under the influence of dark magic.

With the Council of Elders watching closely and Granger's position as sheriff hanging in the balance, Ember has no choice but to investigate from the inside.

Every clue brings her closer to an enemy who knows exactly how to exploit fear, resentment, and magical vulnerability.

And when the man Ember cares about most becomes a target, this investigation stops being just another mystery.

Someone is playing with magic. Someone is playing with lives. And Ember Rose refuses to play by their rules.
