Spells to Forget
€18,50
A deeply atmospheric story of ancestral magic, an unsolved murder, and a second chance at true love.
Emery Blackwood’s life changed forever the night her best friend was found dead and the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of her murder. Years later, she is doing what she swore as a teenager she never would: living a quiet life on the misty, remote shores of Saoirse Island and running the family business, Blackwood Tea, where they sell herbal tonics and read tea leaves. But when the island, steeped in folklore and magic, begins to show signs of strange occurrences, Emery knows something is coming. The morning she wakes to find every tree on Saoirse has changed color overnight, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past the town has tried to bury.
August knows he’s not welcome on Saoirse—not after the night everything changed. As fire raged through the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, rocking their close-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother’s ashes, he must confront those who turned their backs on him and the one wound from his past that has never healed—Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises kept for generations threatens to reveal the truth about Lily’s mysterious death once and for all.
