Ten-year-old Emma has battled dark creatures and protected her home from errant magic, but an unexpected letter brings her scariest trial yet―attending a wedding in Calebrin.Da’s younger sister has invited them for her ceremony, but Emma dreads the huge city, its strange people, uncomfortable fancy clothes, and worst of all: shoes. Her anxiety builds when Nan refuses to go, filling her head with worries about what could be wrong with her father’s side of the family.On Emma’s first night in Calebrin, spectral crying wakes her. She creeps out of bed to discover a forlorn spirit wandering the halls, who seems to be trying to warn Emma of danger. Alas, Da’s prim and proper mother has a low opinion of druids, and an even lower opinion of Mama. His younger brother takes particular delight in tormenting Emma, and her efforts to assist the spirit only annoy him more.She suspects something far darker than an arrogant uncle lurks in the giant manor house where her father grew up. No longer afraid, Emma tries to help the ghost—before she becomes one herself.

My name is Livvy Deveroux, and my family’s enemies have now become my own. I’d known that accepting my place with the Deveroux’s would bring repercussions, but I never thought that betrayal would emerge so close. Nor did I expect it to cut so deep. Req’s always protected me, so when he sets me up to carry out his vengeance, I’m left floundering as I try to pick up the pieces of my life. His deceit not only hurt me, but it also deeply affected Khristos. My relationship with my father has always been rocky, but now we find ourselves struggling to keep it from falling apart.Then, the dead succubi start surfacing—completely drained of life.I may be at odds with Req, but I know him well enough to know that someone’s setting him up to take the fall for the murders. Unfortunately, Khristos is dead certain that Req has to be eliminated—permanently. He’ll stop at nothing to kill him, and I find myself caught up in a whirlwind of chaos as I try to unravel the real reason behind the murders. Someone’s trying to send a message to Khristos, and one of us will be their end game. With Khristos distracted by retribution, I have no choice but to put my issues with Req aside in order to search for the real killer.I can’t allow Khristos to be blindsided by whoever is behind it all. But will the truth come out in time, or will one of us pay the ultimate price with our life?Recommended for ages 15+.
