After the Great War, American heiress Ruby Vaughn has made a life for herself running a rare bookstore in Exeter alongside her octogenarian employer and housemate. She’s always avoided dwelling on the past, even before the war, but it has a way of finding her. And those around her. When Ruby is forced to deliver a box of books deep in the Cornish countryside, she’s brought into the world of the occult—something she has always rejected—through peculiar mysteries without a clear explanation. She also meets the alluring Ruan Kivell, a folk healer Pellar whose ties to Ruby hold long after she leaves Cornwall. This USA Today bestselling and award-winning series is historical gothic murder mystery at its best, and proves to be a romping good time.
