When Ropa Moyo discovers an occult underground library, she expects great things. However, she soon realizes that Edinburgh's secret societies are less interested in her than she had hoped. Instead of getting paid to work magic, she is forced to accept a crummy unpaid internship and struggles to make ends meet. Her friend Priya offers her a job on the side at Our Lady of Mysterious Maladies, a specialized hospital where a new illness is resisting magical and medical remedies alike. The first patient is a teenage boy named Max Wu, and his healers are baffled. If Ropa can solve the case, she might earn as she learns and impress her mentor, Sir Callander. Her sleuthing will lead her to a lost fortune, an avenging spirit, and a secret buried deep in Scotland's past. But how are they connected? Lives are at stake, and Ropa is running out of time.
