This standalone adventure set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Jackaby series brims with humor, heart, and–of course–a hefty dose of supernatural mayhem. Abigail Rook never intended to become the Seer, but now the world of auras–which see through magical glamors, carry trauma, churn with secrets, and always reveal the truth–is hers alone. With this overwhelming new gift, she should be able to solve crimes and help New Fiddleham, New England find calm in its supernatural chaos.

The only problem? She has no idea what she’s doing.

And New Fiddleham isn’t waiting for Abigail to be ready. Local witches and other magical beings are going missing. The authorities dismiss the disappearances as small time, but Abigail is determined to help as many people as she can. Meanwhile, tensions between human and supernatural residents of New Fiddleham are curdling into a hatred that could tear the city apart. To make matters worse, Abigail’s parents appear, ready to take her back to England and marry her off. Abigail has no choice but to follow her Sight, her instincts, and any clues she can find to track a culprit who is somehow always three steps ahead of her.

William Ritter returns to the world of the New York Times bestselling Jackaby series in this laugh-out-loud action-adventure perfect for both new readers and fans of the original series.
