The haunting sequel to The Inn-Specters . Twelve residents. Twelve keepsakes. Twelve signs of the zodiac. When a rehabilitation retreat gathers inside the long-abandoned Wickswood estate, the house answers with omens—shattered vinyl arranged in a pentagram, a missing girl whose voice lingers in the hall, and a spirit dial that won’t stop turning toward the witching hour. Watching and weighing every clue is Abram Alabaster—once a meticulous investigator, now the mansion’s most attentive ghost—piecing together a pattern the living refuse to see. Threaded through the mystery is a hidden tarot: Strength, Death, the High Priestess—cards surfacing from lockboxes and ash, their geometry echoing the very structure of the night. Seventy-eight paths, twenty-two doors, fifty-six small mercies and mistakes; the Arcana become a map of the estate itself, guiding the wary toward a séance that could complete the elemental circle—or open it forever. With Wiccan Ruby Cinders guarding thresholds and young Polly McKay standing at the fulcrum of fate, candlelight gutters, the apple grove stirs, and The Wickswood demands testimony from both the living and the dead. As the hours slip past midnight, every object becomes evidence, every whisper a confession, and not everyone will leave with their story intact. A gothic puzzle of occult intrigue and meticulous detection, The Inn-Specters II: Cycle of the Elements asks: when a house remembers everything, can anyone truly start over? At The Wickswood Inn, the cards don’t predict your fate—they collect it.
