Two months after solving her first murder and discovering her heritage as a Kitchen Witch, Cassie Bishop is finally finding her footing in Salem. The herb garden is waking up, the sourdough starter has developed a mind of its own, and the flour has begun sprouting in ways that definitely weren't in the recipe.
But as the Beltane festival approaches, the energy of the season is building toward a dangerous peak. Beneath the bakery lies the Bishop Anchor-an ancient magical wellspring that has drawn the attention of a years-long scheme operating in plain sight. When a museum curator is found poisoned at the Maypole celebration, Cassie discovers focus discs buried in the cobblestones and instruments hidden within the maritime museum designed to siphon the festival's energy.
With Aunt Ava's connection muffins vibrating at a frequency that forces honest conversations and Sheriff Brady Miller reconsidering everything he thought was possible while snacking on Beltane cupcakes, Cassie must find the circuit-breaker key hidden by the founding families before the wrong hands trigger the Anchor.
