Tabatha is an apprentice to one of the most renowned sorcerers, Julian Solomon. Solomon gift is in prophecies and when he ultimately predicts his own death at the hands of his most beloved, everyone in his family is a suspect. When the prophecy comes true, Tabatha must solve his murder. She also promised him she would stick close to his youngest son, Callum. Tabatha and Callum dive deep to solve the mystery of who killed the sorcerer. The murderer is out there, and Tabatha might be the only person standing in their way of what they truly want.

This story gave me The Inheritance Games and Knives out vibes! It was full of twists and turns. The ending got me, I did not expect it. Ultimately, I felt like the narrative dragged on and talked in circles a bit. I was expecting more displays of magic, but there really wasn’t much. For a young adult book, it was clean and a fun mystery overall.
