Three months after saving the gods from certain doom, the Backside of Forty crew thought they'd earned some peace and quiet. Fat chance of that happening in Cottlehill Wilds.When Constable Lance shows up at Fiona's door with news of a dead body—Derek Morrison, the town council member who tried to exile supernatural families during their last crisis—they know their quiet days are officially over. As if they'd ever really started.
The magical signature at the crime scene is unlike anything they've encountered, and Derek died experiencing what can only be described as psychological torture. Someone forced him to relive every cruel decision he'd ever made before his heart gave out from the guilt.
Using Violet's enhanced witchcraft and Aislinn's elemental magic, they piece together a disturbing pattern: someone is systematically targeting people who took advantage of others during the Prometheus crisis. Call it vigilante justice with a supernatural twist.
But as more victims turn up the trio realizes this isn't just about punishment. Something ancient and powerful is corrupting their entire community, turning neighbors against each other and amplifying everyone's worst moral impulses with catastrophic results.
The trail leads to a Celtic burial site and a missing artifact that was never meant to be a weapon. Now they're racing against time to identify the wielder before the whole town tears itself apart in the name of justice. Too bad the person behind it all is someone they care about.
Saving the day is one thing. Saving a friend from themselves while an ancient relic tries to turn them all into judge, jury, and executioner? That's a whole different level of complicated.
Good thing the Backside of Forty crew is getting really good at making the impossible possible.
