Synopsis

Judeth Cole has always had certain uncanny abilities. But when she arrived at Solidago, her grandfather's estate by the sea, she was forced to keep them secret. There she lived a harsh life under his rule and the haunting legacy of her late grandmother, Aurelia. Until the fateful day she ignited a fire with her magic. It was the last time she saw her family alive.

Seventeen years later, she's living in Seattle as Jude Clark, and failing at life, when she makes a last detour through her favorite bookstore, selecting a book to read as she waits to die. But when she pulls it from the shelf, an invitation to her for a clandestine midnight meeting slips out. Jude is quickly swept up into a world of secrets and magic, discovering a circle of powerful new companions led by the mysterious, enigmatic Arla. The source of their magic, Arla tells her, is an entity, trapped and bound, that they call The Fathom. But Jude swiftly realizes Arla wants this power all to herself, and that she's willing to kill for it.

Terrified, Jude turns to Levi, the handsome bookseller who's seen her at her worst. With his help, she begins a research journey that leads her all the way back to Solidago, the house she swore to never return to. Now, the Fathom threatening to break free and Arla on the hunt, Jude must finally face her past to save her future.

I love Ava Morgyn so much. Her books are like being hugged by a flannel blanket in patchouli scented forest at dusk. The setting had me googling if these places existed because I wanted to move there. The characters were a mix of feminine rage and fire magic swirled up in the broken heart of an heir......more

If you are looking for a witchy, culty, spooky season read this could be a good pick! Hmm I have qualms with this book 😂 When the book first started I was enraptured with the mystery behind the fire, the deaths of the FMC family and the unusual qualities surrounding the “home” and her refusal to ret......more

3.5-4 Stars! Sometimes reviews are hard because you just can't find all the right words to describe the crazy, messed up ride you just took with a book. This, is one of those times.
