Secret of the Rose — Ellen Dugan

The search for the Blood Moon Grimoire continues… Welcome back to William's Ford, Missouri. The bewitching college town where magick and weirdness seems to happen on any day of the week that ends with the letter ‘Y'. Autumn Bishop, grad student, Seer, and the newest Witch in town, has her hands full in the second installment of the Legacy of Magick Series. Her relationship with Duncan is heating up, and she is finally finding some normalcy in her new life. But things are never as they appear in William's Ford, and Autumn's path is not an easy one. Grisly poppets are being discovered, and they are linked to a series of accidents involving teenage girls. Added to this, a mysterious, yet kindly new ghost has begun to haunt Autumn at the Manor -- just in time for Samhain. The ghostly visits are filled with distracting clues -- clues to a long held skeleton in the family closet and the possible location of more pages from the lost Blood Moon Grimoire. As Autumn digs into her own past for answers, she discovers a decades- old- lie and heartbreaking secrets which could drive Autumn's new-found family apart. Deception, division, and death haunt Autumn and all of the Bishops. Will she be able to rise to the challenge of her legacy of magick and uncover the secret of the rose in time?
