Beschreibung

Edith Ashton is the last of her kind. But the world thinks she's dead.

1893 London. Witches live uneasily alongside humans after a treaty that stripped them of their immortality in exchange for living out in the open. In that aftermath, Death Witches were hunted down and eradicated.

All but one.

Edith hides in plain sight as an investigator with the First Council, solving murders with her magic. She can see a victim's last moments of life. It's a convenient gift. An inconspicuous one. And it keeps her true power a secret.

But when a witch's death exposes the disappearance of five more, she is forced into a case that rips into her past. The trail leads to the Sparrows - a long-dormant order that wiped out every Death Witch in England - including Edith's family.

As the full moon draws near, more witches vanish. When a witch she has sworn to protect is abducted, she won't stay hidden any longer.

To stop them, Edith will have to unmask a magic she has spent decades burying.

And once the Sparrows know that a Death Witch still lives, they will finish what they started.
