When Millicent Calderwood finally receives the keys to the home she loved as a child, she expects dust and memories-not a floating man in a red mist and a web of old magic that reaches for her head. But the estate won't wait: a revenant keeps replaying the witch's cruelty, an imp hunts in the edges of town, and the people who shepherd her new life insist she's the only one who can finish what was started centuries ago.

Thrown into a world of ritual, reluctant alliances, and slow-burning desire, Millie must learn rites from a housekeeper who is older than anyone should be and trust a brooding caretaker who knows more than he admits. With a waning moon approaching and a revenant desperate to finish its work, Millie faces a choice: sell the property and return to the safe life she once planned, or become the heir her grandmother insisted she'd be-and risk everything to break a curse.
