A note for parents

This is the third book in a historical fantasy mystery series set in 1600s England with supernatural elements. The plot involves witchfinding, betrayal, and investigation of dark magical practices, which creates an atmosphere of dread and moral ambiguity rather than graphic content. While there is some violence and mature themes including death and unnatural occurrences, the focus is on mystery-solving and institutional intrigue. Best suited for mid-to-upper teen readers comfortable with darker fantasy and historical settings.

There is clearly someone in the Office of the Witchfinder General who is working for or with English Wizardry, and Danesh and the Crow are determined to track them down. It might even be one of the Lord High Witchfinders. Who can they trust? Can Danesh even trust the Crow? To ensure the traitor is not alerted, Danesh conducts an off-the-books investigation under cover of an inquiry into a cold case. But not all cold cases stay cold; not all dead witches stay dead; and not all traitors stay hidden… … and what is the significance of the goat’s skull? Cover design: Alison Buck
