Georgia is forced to balance her mother's first visit with a murder investigation when a body is discovered at the ruin of the island's old lighthouse. Things are not as they seem, her friend Olive Henry's nightmares seemingly tied to a mysterious magic she can't seem to uncover.

Retired Guild Artemis Inquisitor Georgia Drake, with help from her Hades mastiff, Benjamin, is asked to investigate the death of a wealthy local patriarch on her new home, Whitewitch Island.

When Georgia agreed to join her young neighbor, Holly Henry, as background for a pro photo shoot, she wasn't expecting to have to trade her glamorous dress for a pair of gloves when one of the crew on the set dies during the session.

Now chief of the Whitewitch Island police department, if temporarily, Georgia is called on to intervene when a disturbance has her investigating at The Acropolis Hotel.

When retired Guild Artemis Inquisitor Georgia Drake's past comes back to haunt her, resulting in the disappearance of her mastiff, Benjamin, her choice to go after him is complicated by a murder that entangles her in local politics.

Never in my life had I thought I, Georgia Eirene Drake, only daughter of the fabled Drake family whose bloodline of Gold Dragon Emissary was only two generations removed, would find herself delighting in tiny aspects of normalcy like sorting plastics and waste into their respective receptacles.

Retired Guild Artemis Inquisitor Georgia Drake has had two weeks to settle into her new home, including fourteen delicious days watching adorably attractive handyman, Sam Spencer, work shirtless on a regular basis.
