Description
In the aftermath of the Civil War, former Underground Railroad Conductors Hetty Rhodes and her husband, Benjy, use constellation-powered magic to investigate murders and supernatural crimes that Philadelphia’s white authorities would rather ignore. When an old friend is killed, their search for the truth draws them into a dangerous web of hidden histories, neighborhood tensions, and secrets that challenge everything they believe about those closest to them. Set in the vibrant Seventh Ward, this richly imagined historical fantasy explores racial injustice, community, marriage, memory, and resistance through a compelling blend of mystery, magic, and social history.
