She only has the one boyfriend now, and Quade Contonn is more than enough wizard for her. In fact, he’s the perfect fit. After decades apart, reuniting with her first love couldn’t be going better.
At this point, you’d think she’d have earned herself a little vacay from all of Gales Haven’s kooky problems. But nope. Not a chance.
The ancestral Gawama home is being rowdier than usual, clamoring for Marla’s attention at every turn. When the bewitched house unleashes a whole host of problems, and very vocal ones at that, Marla knows she’s in for a heaping, screeching serving of trouble.
She’s never in the mood for detecting, but this time? Marla also has her own personal ... complication to deal with, and this one’s here to stay. Who said your forties are too late to start over? Hopefully no one, because for Marla, starting over is the only way to go.
Lucía Ashta is the bestselling author of young adult and adult fantasy and paranormal fiction, including the series Royals of Embermere, Smoky Mountain Pack, Witches of Gales Haven, and Magical Creatures Academy.
When Lucía isn't writing, she's reading, painting, or adventuring. Magical fantasy is her favorite, but the romance and quirky characters are what keep her hooked on books.
A former attorney and architect, she’s an Argentinian-American author who lives in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains with her husband and three daughters. She published her first story (about an unusual Cockatoo) at the age of eight and has been (more or less) at it ever since.
