The last thing anyone expects during final savasana is murder.
When beloved yoga studio co-founder Archer Vale collapses during a packed evening class at Flow State Studio, everyone assumes the charismatic wellness guru suffered a tragic medical emergency.
Everyone except Luna Hart.
A former professional dancer who reinvented herself as a hot yoga instructor after a career-ending injury, Luna knows Archer's breathing pattern changed moments before the lights dimmed. And when whispers of financial trouble, influencer rivalries, and studio politics begin circulating through the town's kombucha bars and meditation circles, she becomes convinced something far more sinister happened on those heated floors.
As social media wellness stars weaponize gossip, longtime friendships fracture, and hidden debts emerge from beneath Flow State's carefully curated serenity, Luna finds herself balancing murder investigations with sunrise classes, green juice diplomacy, and increasingly awkward encounters with local police.
The deeper she stretches into the mystery, the more she discovers that enlightenment can be a very profitable business-and someone was willing to kill to protect their version of it.
Because beneath every calm surface lies tension waiting to snap.
