Synopsis

Lily Ivory runs a vintage clothing store in San Francisco, and she practices magic on the side. The shop is doing well, and she has earned the trust of the Bay Area covens by backing women's charities through her business.

An evening off takes her to a local art deco ball, where the period fashions draw the most attention. There a young woman collapses into a mysterious sleeping sickness. Lily senses that a curse has been placed on the woman's corsage, and she recognises a sinister sleeping spell at work.

Before she can undo the spell, Lily is asked to help look into a string of poisonings among the region's witches. Her standing with the covens gives her access that an outsider would not have. It also puts her close to the people she may need to suspect.

She begins to think that one of her new acquaintances is dabbling in dark magic and deadly botany. This is a paranormal mystery with a cozy setting of boutiques, vintage dresses and witch circles, and a poisoner who may be sitting among friends.
