About the book
This mesmerizing mystery series debut from New York Times bestselling author Victoria Laurie introduces the captivating Dovey Van Dalen, once the belle of 1840s Copenhagen, now charged with recovering magic property from mortals - whatever it takes.
Dovey Van Dalen had big plans for her 200th birthday: cruising in her new Porsche, enjoying the cherry blossoms in her beloved Washington DC, and treating herself to some luxury. However, her boss interrupts her day with some unexpected news: a valuable artifact has been stolen, and he suspects it's wreaking havoc in the non-magical world.
The prestigious Ariti family has been plagued by a series of mysterious deaths, all without any evidence of foul play. Strangely, each member has met their end in the manner they feared most. With her exceptional ability to blend in with humans, Dovey is tasked with unraveling the mystery and recovering the dangerous item.
But things take a twist when Dovey arrives at the art gallery where the Ariti patriarch passed away, only to find FBI agent Grant 'Gibs' Bartholomew already on the case. In order to proceed with her investigation, Dovey must gain his cooperation while keeping her magical talents and true mission hidden from a man who is skilled at uncovering deceit. As they get closer to uncovering a deadly truth, the danger they face is something even the magically-inclined would struggle to survive.
