Augustine Pepperday has never fallen in love, and she has never matched the effortless magic of her star-reading sisters.
Instead she runs a small, sage-scented shop, selling overpriced candles and salmon-flavoured healing tea meant for emotionally overwrought cats.
Theo changes the quiet of that life the moment he appears: gorgeous, warm with the scent of cinnamon, and looking at her as if ordinary were the last word that fits.
He is also dead, and he wants Augustine’s help to learn why, with the cards offering a possible answer if she can work out how to read them.
Clue by clue she is pulled toward the truth and toward Theo, though a ghost should be impossible to love—and a Pepperday witch without magic should be just as impossible.
