The Grimoire's Gambit
(2026)(The second book in the Spine and Spell Mysteries series)
A novel by Lisa Bouchard
Fiona Flanagan has finally found her place. She's running her great-aunt's bookbinding shop, mastering her psychometric abilities, and slowly restoring the ancient family grimoire—a massive, temperamental book that pulses with secrets and occasionally rearranges her furniture when it's displeased.
Then renowned antiquarian Cornelius Thorne arrives in Pinecrest, desperate to meet with her. He claims to know things about the grimoire that could change everything.
Before he can tell her what, he's found dead in the Historical Library, pages torn from a rare text still clutched in his hand. Pages that reference "anchor stones"—the magical foundations holding Pinecrest together. Foundations that are crumbling.
As Fiona investigates, she discovers that her grimoire contains a map to all four anchor stones, and someone is willing to kill to keep their locations buried forever. Her search leads into hidden passages beneath the town's oldest buildings, where centuries-old secrets wait in the dark. And then there are the letters—written in her long-lost mother's handwriting, postmarked from impossible places, hinting that Fiona isn't the only Flanagan fighting to save Pinecrest.
