Nola Dahl’s car smells like divorce paperwork. Her inheritance smells like old magic and opossum.
After twenty years restoring other people’s treasures in Portland, Nola drives to the fog-wrapped coastal town of Yarrow Bluff to claim the antique shop her great-aunt Colette left her. What she finds is a crumbling building full of objects that hum when she touches them, a telepathic opossum named Persimmon who communicates primarily through demands for salmon, and a dead woman in a locked office.
Harriet Lund was Colette’s closest friend. She was also sitting on a secret: a collection of magical artifacts someone was willing to kill for. When Nola’s psychometric giftthe ability to read an object’s history through touchreveals the victim’s final terrified moments, she’s pulled into an investigation that leads from black-market antiquities dealers to the ley line binding system hidden beneath the town.
Colette wasn’t just an eccentric shopkeeper. She was the sole caretaker of the magic that holds Yarrow Bluff together. And now that job belongs to Nolawhether she’s ready or not.
