Reg has always hated reading. Now a book might be her undoing.

Reg Rawlins, the reformed con artist turned genuine psychic investigator, is trying to find her new normal. She's got her unconventional business, her found family in the magical town of Black Sands, and her psychic cat, Starlight. But life for a magnet of magical chaos is never quiet.

But when a client brings her a haunted seventeenth-century journal for a simple energy balancing, Reg finds herself drawn into the enthralling story of Laura Eastman, an orphaned girl who became apprentice to a powerful witch in old Black Sands.

Armed with technology that makes the archaic handwriting come alive, Reg devours page after page of Laura's life—her struggles, her forbidden magical experiments, and her desperate quest to create life itself. For the first time ever, Reg can't put a book down.

But there's a reason this journal found its way to her door.

As Reg loses herself in the pages of Laura's world, strange things start happening. Reg has stumbled into something far more dangerous than a haunted book.

Some books don't just tell stories—they have plans of their own.

The boundaries between past and present, between artificial and real, are about to break in ways no one could have predicted.

Praise for the Series:

— P D Workman has done it again; created a cast of characters and a storyline that are captivating and enthralling. Once I started this cozy I didn't want to put it down (which can be a bad thing when you have a family to take care of…lol). I can't wait for the other books in this series. I think Reg is going to turn out to be one of my favorite new characters. Pick up your copy as soon as possible.

— This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat. I needed a light read, and this fit the bill perfectly. Recommended.

— An exciting tale of magical adventure with lots of action from P.D Workman
