Ember Rose is finally starting to feel at home in Starry Hollow. She's learning magic, working as a reporter, raising Marley, and trying to understand what it really means to belong to one of the town's most powerful magical families.
Unfortunately, the Rose name comes with expectations.
When Aunt Hyacinth appoints Ember as a trustee of the prestigious Rose Foundation, Ember gets an uncomfortable crash course in family influence, old traditions, and the responsibilities that come with being a descendant of the legendary One True Witch. She also becomes more involved in the town's tourism efforts, uncovering just how much history—and how many secrets—Starry Hollow has hidden beneath its charming magical surface.
But Ember's growing involvement in the community has an unexpected consequence: she keeps finding herself drawn into mysteries.
Between supernatural politics, family drama, magical mishaps, and an increasingly complicated relationship with the town's handsome sheriff, Ember has more than enough to keep her busy.
And when another mystery demands her attention, she discovers that solving crimes in Starry Hollow requires more than a good eye for clues.
Sometimes, it requires knowing exactly which family secrets not to uncover.
Magic, murder, family secrets—and one witch who refuses to stay out of trouble.
