In the Wall Street Journal bestselling writer of the Witching Savannah series comes the story of a witch’s quest to uncover her family’s terrifying history…

Magic is seeping from the globe, leaving the witches who’ve relied on it for countless decades increasingly hopeless. While some find an inevitable end of their period, others are courting madness-willing to sacrifice previous allies, friends, and family members to wthhold the power they covet.

As the other witches watch their reality about The King of Bones and Ashes unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning times to delve into the mystery of several disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too-caged within an asylum by bloodstream relatives. Lately freed, she doubts her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.

Yet the even more she seeks the reality about her family’s troubled background, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Finding the reason for the vanishings, though, could be the just way to escape her mother’s reach while identifying the continuing future of all witches.
