In the thrilling sequel to "The Conductors," and the second book in the Murder & Magic series of historical fantasy novels set in post-Civil war Philadelphia, Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, face a case that is bigger and more dangerous than anything they have ever handled before. Freedom comes at a cost, and Hetty and Benjy are about to find out just how high that cost is. Hetty and Benjy have another death on their hands: Raimond Duval, a victim of one of the many fires consuming Philadelphia. His death is officially declared an accident, but Hetty and Benjy smell something more than just ash in the air. Their investigations point to a powerful Fire Company, known to let homes in the Black community burn to the ground, but before they can investigate further, Raimond's son, Valentine, is also found dead. It quickly becomes clear that there is something more here, something that connects Raimond and Valentine to the recent fires plaguing the city, and Hetty and Benjy have never been the kind to step aside. But this feels larger than the cases that have come before, and now their lives hang in the balance. After all, even the most powerful magic can't hold back the ghosts of the past. As Hetty and Benjy delve deeper into the case, they discover that the Fire Company is not the only organization involved. There are dark forces at work, and they are willing to do anything to keep their secrets hidden. Hetty and Benjy must navigate a dangerous web of lies and deceit, and they must use all of their skills and resources to uncover the truth before it is too late. The stakes have never been higher, and Hetty and Benjy are in grave danger. But they are not alone. They have a network of friends and allies who are willing to do anything to help them, and they are determined to bring the guilty to justice. In the end, Hetty and Benjy may have to sacrifice everything to save the city and the people they love. But they know that freedom is worth fighting for, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it.
