The utterly captivating and darkly magical sequel to award-winning author Deirdre Sullivan's PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS.

Look. Madeline. You've lost your soul. You've lost your freedom. You've lost a bit of your sister. What else could go wrong?

Catlin and Madeline are extraordinary sisters, living extraordinary lives - in a place that seems entirely ordinary, but which in fact seethes with secrets, both sacred and sinister. Ballyfran is a village where, for centuries, people who are not quite human have gathered. Catlin has already fallen foul of one such creature - a dark, vicious predator who almost killed her - and only Madeline giving up a part of her own soul was able to bring Catlin back from the brink of death.

Now, the girls are making their strange new lives: Catlin, haunted by what happened to her, is isolated and bereft; Madeline is learning ancient magics under the tutelage of local wise woman Mamó. Learning that magic isn't mindfulness and hats. It's work - hard work. And Madeline knows she has to keep watch. On her sister. On the things that happen. Notice things before they start to happen. And before long, they do...

The girls discover that Ballyfran is not as ordinary as it seems, and that the village is home to a powerful and ancient magic that can be both a blessing and a curse. They learn that the magic is tied to the land and the people who live there, and that it has the power to heal, to protect, and to destroy.

As they delve deeper into the magic, the girls become increasingly aware of the dangers that lurk around every corner. They must learn to control their powers and use them wisely, or risk becoming the next victims of the magic's dark forces.

Meanwhile, Catlin's past catches up with her, and she is forced to confront the demons that have haunted her for years. She must learn to forgive herself and others, and to find a way to move forward with her life.

As the girls continue to explore the mysteries of Ballyfran, they discover that the magic is not just a force of nature, but a living entity that has its own agenda. They must learn to navigate the complex web of relationships and alliances that exist in the village, and to work together to protect both themselves and the magic that they have come to love.

In the end, the girls must face the ultimate test of their courage and loyalty. They must use all of their skills and powers to defeat the evil that threatens Ballyfran and the world beyond.

The sequel to PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS is a thrilling and suspenseful adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Deirdre Sullivan's writing is masterful, and her characters are complex and relatable. This book is a must-read for fans of fantasy and adventure, and for anyone who loves a good story that will leave them thinking long after the last page.
