Runes and Ravens

A raven's cryptic clues might just lead her to wrack and ruin....

Charity Hughes, owner of Full Moon Apothecary, thinks she's ready for Halloween, Salem's busiest time of year. But her broken heart isn't the only thing haunting her. When confronted by a raven familiar who communicates only through mysterious rune stones, Charity must untangle the bird's bizarre behavior while juggling the demands of tourist season.

The stakes rise when paranormal researcher Eunice Bartlett is found murdered behind Charity's shop. Charmed by the invitation of Eunice's rival, Dr. Malcolm Grimes, to the Halloween masquerade ball, Charity agrees to be his date. But the enchantment fades when she encounters her ex, veterinarian Noah Jenkins, stirring up unresolved feelings.

As the murder investigation ensnares an innocent man, Charity's intuition screams that something is amiss. With the raven's frantic clues and her own Tarot cards as her guide, she races to unravel a web of secrets and lies...before the real killer disappears forever.
