A cozy paranormal mystery where the boundary between worlds may not be as secure as anyone believed-and someone is willing to kill to prove it.
Some promises were broken. Some loyalties were tested. Now someone has crossed where they shouldn't have.
Lyra Wells hoped Spring WishFest would mark a true new beginning-flowers in bloom, music in the square, and a town ready to believe balance could be rebuilt. After a winter of deception, Lyra and her closest allies have chosen a different path. No longer aligned with the Elders and refusing to join the rebels, they protect both Wishville and Elarion on their own terms. They call themselves The Fearless Four-equal partners with no secrets and no inherited loyalties.
But independence comes with consequences.
When a man is found dead near the edge of town, Lyra and Calderis sense what no one else can. He doesn't belong. A chilling possibility takes shape: someone crossed where they shouldn't have.
Chief of Police Holden Thorn must manage a growing list of suspects while LuLu keeps the story from spinning out of control. Calderis faces quiet unrest in Elarion as whispers spread about his departure. With evidence pointing in impossible directions and suspects rising in both worlds, Lyra must untangle a mystery that threatens more than one life.
If the boundary between realms can be breached without the well's blessing, peace may not be as secure as she once believed.
The question is simple: who decides what balance looks like? And who is willing to kill for it?
