Magic, murder, and mayhem at a high-society house party.

Recovering from a recent supernatural attack, twentysomething witch Alma has sworn off violence to devote herself to the old ways of magic—without hurting anyone.

But soon she's drawn out of her cozy bungalow in the redwoods to investigate a murder at a high-society house party on the California coast. She's forced to summon old powers and new, make allies she might not be able to trust, and face a shocking truth about her own identity. And maybe—if she can survive long enough—unmask a killer.
