Magic, murder, and a chicken with attitude. What could go wrong?

Tara Hart is ready to settle in and enjoy Windfall’s annual Desert Wildflower Festival, that is, until a prominent local historian, Professor Eleanor Graves, is found dead at the bottom of a ladder in the town’s historical archives. Tara’s witchy instincts, and her snarky talking chicken familiar, Henrietta, tell her there’s more to the story than just an accidental fall in the stacks. With a town full of secrets, a murderer on the loose, and her magic still a work in progress, Tara can’t resist digging into the mystery.

As she uncovers a web of lies, old grudges, and hidden motives, Tara finds herself tangled in a case that hits close to home. Eleanor’s research threatened to expose the dark history of Windfall’s most powerful families, and everyone had a reason to want her silenced.

Can Tara solve the murder before the festival’s final bloom wilts, or will she become the next victim of Windfall’s deadly past?
