Iris Calder returns to Moonfern Cove for her mother's funeral planning to sell the crumbling corner bakery and leave town fast. Then the rescue cat she inherits speaks, the old family magic wakes, and the police treat Amelia Calder's "accidental" death as closed.

That story collapses when a body is uncovered in the garden of Sugar & Sorcery, tying Iris to a disappearance everyone assumed was history. A handyman becomes the perfect suspect. The town relaxes. The Harbor Council offers sympathy and subtle pressure. Someone breaks into the bakery to scare Iris silent.

With detective Lucas Marek warning her to step back and Lumi insisting she step forward, Iris digs into a coded ledger of names, dates, and ritual bookkeeping. She can either run again or claim her mother's legacy and expose the powerful figure who signs orders with only one letter.

Moonfern Cove just met its newest problem.
