CSI meets fantasy - with a dash of cozy! Rae and her new found family must awaken the Oracle of Faedor if they wish to survive the evil king’s oncoming army. Doing so requires a magical stone - one they do not yet possess. When Rae and Valen arrange a meeting to obtain the stone, their contact ends up dead. The only clues gleaned from the crime scene are symbols carved in a cursed arrow. Rae knows there’s one obvious place in Hallow’s Promise for a powerful cursecaster to hide - The Central Campus for Mages and Magics. To investigate this crime, Rae must don a new set of black robes and face her most challenging obstacle college students. But when the investigation turns deadly, Rae must decide if freedom is worth sacrificing something she loves the most. Whip up a sweet treat, make a steaming cup of tea, and lean back with this almost-cozy fantasy murder mystery, bubbled with love, shaken with mystery, and garnished especially for you.
