Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker - and they sure do love to talk. Now she speaks to Edinburgh’s dead, carrying messages to those they left behind. A girl’s gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someone’s bewitching children - leaving them husks, empty of joy and strength. It’s on Ropa’s patch, so she feels honor-bound to investigate. But what she learns will rock her world.

Ropa Moyo’s ghost-talking practice has tanked. Desperate for money to pay bills and look after her family, she reluctantly accepts a job to look into the history of a coma patient receiving treatment at the magical private hospital Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments. The patient is a teenage schoolboy called Max Wu, and healers at the hospital are baffled by the illness which has confounded medicine and magic.

Everyone’s favorite fifteen-year-old ghostalker, Ropa, arrives at the worldwide Society of Skeptical Enquirers’ biennial conference just in time to be tied into a mystery—a locked room mystery, if an entire creepy haunted castle on lockdown counts. One of the magical attendees has stolen a valuable magical scroll. Caught between Qozmos, the high wizard of Ethiopian magic; the larger-than-life Lord Sashvindu Samarasinghe; England’s Sorcerer Royal; and Scotland’s own Edmund MacLeod, it’s up to Ropa to sort through the dangerous secret politics and alliances to figure out what really happened.

Ropa Moyo is a wannabe magician, can speak to the dead, and has officially given up being an intern. Leaving Scottish magic behind, she now works for the English Sorcerer Royal. But just as she adjusts to working for the English, an old enemy reveals a devastating secret about her Gran, and Ropa’s world falls apart. Outraged, she rushes home, but finds her grandmother dead–murdered–with no killer in sight. What’s more, she’s the prime suspect.

Ropa Moyo is dead, banished to the Other Place by the reanimated spirit of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville of Scotland. Turns out being on the losing side sucks worse than being skint. Now, the Cult of Dundas intends to ascend to godhood, spreading their corrupting reach from Edinburgh to all of Scotland’s schools of magic. Ropa must find some way to escape the Other Place, save her sister and gather allies across the country before Edinburgh falls.

Nachdem Ropa eine okkulte unterirdische Bibliothek entdeckt hatte, ging sie davon aus, sofort in deren Geheimnisse eintauchen zu dürfen. Doch anstatt offiziell als Magierin aufgenommen zu werden, muss sie ein unbezahltes Praktikum machen. Über ihre Freundin Priya gelangt sie jedoch an einen ganz anderen Nebenjob. Denn Priya arbeitet in einem magischen Hospital, in dem eine neue Krankheit sowohl magischen als auch medizinischen Heilmitteln trotzt.

Ropa hat die Schule abgebrochen, um Geistersprecherin zu werden - und nun spricht sie mit den Toten von Edinburgh und überbringt den Lebenden deren Botschaften. Ein scheinbar harmloser Job, um sich, ihre kleine Schwester und ihre Großmutter über Wasser zu halten.
