Cinna and Hokuren return! Their heartwarming, found-family relationship meets a twisty, character-driven mystery full of magical intrigue.
Hokuren's steady life in Velles, tracking lost pets through the bustling city with her street-smart assistant Cinna, is upended when a magically sealed letter arrives to inform her of her father's death. Hokuren is summoned back to the muddy provincial town she fled a decade ago and forced to confront the family business, tangled in smuggling, she tried to escape.
With Cinna at her side, Hokuren steps into a town falling further into gloom. Goblin raids grow bolder while the local militia, led by a witch thought to be dead, is clinging by a thread. Every clue Hokuren finds around her father's death points to a deeper conspiracy, and when she discovers his grave empty and herself framed for arson, she realizes someone is determined to keep the truth buried.
As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Hokuren must decide how far she'll go to claim her inheritance-not of property, but of family histories and dangerous magic long kept hidden. In a world where every ally could be a traitor and every answer leads to more questions, can Hokuren and Cinna survive long enough to uncover what really happened in Fondence to both her father and her mother?
A lighthearted and fast-paced fantasy mystery full of action, adventure and sly humor, Silks and Stones is also a touching exploration of staying true to oneself in the face of complicated family legacies.
