"A magical bakery. A dead author. A secret someone killed to protect. Welcome to Celestial Falls, where the pastries are warm, the gossip is sweeter, and the magic is just beneath the surface. Lo Heal-Park thought she was finally settling into her new life at Heavenly Desserts—baking, blending in, and keeping her unusual gifts to herself. But when bestselling author Patrice Holloway is found dead in a bookstore reading chair—peaceful, composed, and very much murdered—Lo's quiet life crumbles faster than a bad batch of scones. Because Lo doesn't just bake. She reads what the dough tells her. And what it's telling her now? This wasn't just murder. This was silencing. As the town points fingers at the loudest suspect, Lo starts uncovering something far more dangerous: a hidden manuscript that was never meant to be finished, a powerful secret buried inside Patrice's final book, and a truth someone will do anything to keep from being exposed With her fairy god-cat offering unhelpful commentary, a too-perceptive wizard always one step ahead, and her own powers growing stronger by the day, Lo will have to trust what she feels—even when she can't prove it. Because in Celestial Falls . . . Some stories aren't written. They're protected. And this one? Someone already tried to erase it."
