About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling "Queen of Fairytale Retellings" and author of Cinder and Heartless, this is the tale of Bluebeard as it's never been told before--a thrilling romantasy and murder mystery.
Mallory Fontaine has been labeled a fraud in the witch community. Despite being from a lineage of witches, her magical abilities are limited to seeing ghosts, which isn't always as helpful as one might assume. Together with her sister, they run a shady business selling fake spells and guiding tours of the mansion where the infamous Saphir murders happened.
Mallory claims to be an expert on Count Bastien Saphir, also known as Monsieur Le Bleu, who ruthlessly murdered three of his wives over a century ago. Unexpectedly, she crosses paths with Armand, Bastien's great-great grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is wealthy, charming, and believes in the Fontaine Sisters' skills. He becomes the perfect target. When Armand offers Mallory a generous sum to rid his family home of Le Bleu's ghost, she cannot refuse. Who wouldn't want a paid getaway at a luxurious country manor, even with the presence of ghosts and monsters?
However, when another murder occurs at the Saphir mansion, Mallory becomes entangled in the investigation and suspects the killer is human. To earn her payment and uphold her witchly facade, she must solve the murder and exorcise the ghost.
Yet, her biggest hurdle lies in trusting her own feelings, especially when the person she's falling for could be a murderer.
