This captivating series is a must-read for anyone who has a deep affection for the sea, islands, or the art of joyful and intricate storytelling.

In the days leading up to the final Shetland fire festival, a tragic incident occurred when a young and glamorous singer stumbled down a flight of steps in broad daylight. Despite initial appearances, sailing sleuth Cass Lynch, who was present at the scene, believed that it looked more like Chloe had sleepwalked to her death. However, young women do not typically slumber while engaging in laughter and strolling with friends. Could it be that someone had invoked a spell from the recently stolen Book of the Black Arts, which was taken from a Yell graveyard?

A web of tensions between the victim and those who knew her strongly suggests that something far more sinister than black magic is at play. The evidence points to a potential lethal force, but proving its existence and identifying the culprits remain challenging tasks. Until the mystery is solved, innocent lives remain in grave danger.

This captivating series delves deep into the complexities of human relationships, the power of magic, and the relentless pursuit of truth. With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and stunning setting, it promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
