The river remembers everything... and now it's killing to share those memories. Maddie Crow is settling into her new life as Stratford-upon-Avon's resident curse-breaker. Between managing The Crooked Tome (or is Crooks managing her?) and handling minor hexes, she's just about found her rhythm when Detective Ross Hamilton arrives with a case that will shatter the peace of two historic towns. Tom Pondmere walked out of The Dirty Swan on a perfectly ordinary evening and drowned in the River Avon. He was found fully clothed with no signs of a struggle. But this is only the beginning. Paranormals throughout the region are experiencing disturbing visions near the River Avon. Visions of deaths that happened centuries ago. Visions that feel disturbingly real. With more victims surfacing and the supernatural encounters spreading between Stratford and Warwick, time is running out and the danger is escalating. But uncovering the truth means delving into magic darker than anything Maddie has encountered before. Because whoever is behind these impossible drownings isn't finished. Someone—or something—has turned the ancient river into a weapon. Perfect for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with British charm and just enough romance to warm the heart with supernatural intrigue, a determined curse-breaker and a sceptical detective who's beginning to question everything he thought he knew about the world.
