When the Flow starts to break, and the Bubble wobbles, a town's fate rests on one woman's shoulders.

As acting mayor of Glimmerton, Iris Halloway has one job—keep the town running and the Flow steady. Easy enough when the biggest problem is mediating minor feuds over pie recipes. But when the town’s most sacred artifact vanishes, strange scorch marks appear in the Dance Dome, and a dead body turns up at the Bubble’s edge, Iris knows trouble has arrived.

Magic is forbidden except under extreme circumstances, but with the Flow unraveling and suspicion brewing, the town is one bad day away from chaos. To untangle the mystery, Iris must navigate old ghosts and current gossips, a missing Freyan journal, and a suspicious newcomer with secrets of her own—all while keeping the Flow from backfiring completely.

With her snarky macaw familiar, Theo, at her side and the town’s fate in her hands, Iris must solve the riddle before Glimmerton’s protection fails for good. Because in a town where magic is a whisper and the past refuses to stay buried…

Murder is just the beginning.

Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries with a twist of suspense, a dash of humor, and a town full of secrets waiting to be uncovered.
