Shadow Schemes - Paperback

by Tilly Wallace (Author)

A lost child will uncover old secrets....

After her triumphant performance as goddess of the night at a royal banquet, Sera is instructed by the Mage Council to stay out of public sight. She is tasked with settling a restless spirit who has been roused by the fate of a descendant. A noblewoman stands accused of orchestrating the sad fate of her daughter, and the ghost will not return to her grave until Sera does something.

Sera journeys to the countryside in pursuit of evidence to free the woman, but finds a gothic manor harbouring secrets within its walls, and a lord intent on being rid of his troublesome wife. Did the noblewoman truly do away with her daughter, or was a more sinister hand responsible?

As Sera struggles to reveal the truth, doubts invade her mind. Will her efforts see the mother walk free, or to the gallows?
