By Marissa Meyer

She never expected to meet Bastien's great-great grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. He offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of Le Bleu's ghost, but when murder again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she'll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft.
