Synopsis:
Edith Ashton is the last of her kind. But the world thinks she’s dead.
1893 London. Witches live uneasily alongside humans after a treaty that stripped them of their immortality in exchange for living out in the open. In that aftermath, Death Witches were hunted down and eradicated.
All but one.
Edith hides in plain sight as an investigator with the First Council, solving murders with her magic. She can see a victim’s last moments of life. It’s a convenient gift. An inconspicuous one. And it keeps her true power a secret.
But when a witch’s death exposes the disappearance of five more, she is forced into a case that rips into her past. The trail leads to the Sparrows – a long-dormant order that wiped out every Death Witch in England – including Edith’s family.
As the full moon draws near, more witches vanish. When a witch she has sworn to protect is abducted, she won’t stay hidden any longer.
To stop them, Edith will have to unmask a magic she has spent decades burying.
And once the Sparrows know that a Death Witch still lives, they will finish what they started.
Review:
Edith lost her parents early in life and keeps her real powers hidden. She works as an investigator solving murder cases, using her power in a unique way.
In the past, death witches cast a spell that took away the immortality of magical beings to stop the violence between them. Not everyone agreed with this decision, and some still resent it. Being different has always caused problems, especially when it leads to loss or pain.
When a series of murders begins to unfold, it becomes clear that a faction is working to overturn the current order, and they need witches to do so. Edith first becomes aware of them during one of her investigations, and as she digs deeper, her actions begin to affect not only her own life but also the lives of those around her.
The story is told from different points of view, which helps show what is happening from several sides. Each viewpoint contributes valuable context, and gradually, the different characters’ paths begin to intersect.
What stood out most to me was how the narrative is driven by powerful female characters. Each of them has embraced her role and carries strength in her own unique way. As their stories begin to connect and the larger picture comes into focus, the heart of the story truly emerges. The world-building is rich and immersive, and it only took a few chapters for me to feel fully drawn in.
