Lennox Osseous always assumed the family magic would skip her. She was counting on it. Then Grammy Ruby dies, and the bones land on Lennox's kitchen table whether she wants them or not. She is now a Bone Witch, with no training, a familiar she barely knows, and bitter relatives already circling. Then Rogan Kendrick shows up. He has green eyes, a disarming smile, and news that cuts straight through any distraction he causes: someone is targeting witches like Lennox, and she is next on the list. He seems certain. Lennox has no reason to trust him and every reason to run. She does not run. She pushes into a world she never chose, learning what her power means while a real threat closes in around her. The magic does not care about her reluctance. The danger does not wait for her to feel ready. Lennox has to decide whether the ancestors who passed the bones to her made a mistake, or whether she is exactly who they meant to find.
