Some secrets are better left buried... especially when they're magically booby-trapped.
Baker Jess just wanted to perfect her enchanted lemon tart recipe and keep a low magical profile—but fate (and familiars) have other plans. Her sarcastic cat, Maestro, is obsessed with his new kitten offspring, who was supposed to bond with Jess's younger sister… if only the willful ball of fluff didn't keep sneaking into Jess's life and stirring up chaos.
Then a mysterious folklore researcher, Tobias Grimsby, turns up dead—surrounded by cryptic symbols and strange magical residue. Jess soon discovers he wasn't just poking into local legends—he was secretly mapping the locations of magical families across the towns surrounding Destiny. Worse, it looks like he triggered a long-dormant magical trap that should never have been touched.
Now Jess must follow a trail of hidden spells, generational secrets, and one overly curious kitten, all while her own powers surge stronger—and more unpredictable—by the day. Can she uncover the truth behind Tobias's death before someone else stumbles into the magical crossfire?
