Our Grim Auguria
Witches are dying out, and Aurelia Schwartz's coven has staked everything on an answer they can't quite make work: bringing the dead back. That plan runs straight into Meredith, Aurelia's late mother, whose ghost won't let her old coven forget the secrets she carried to her own funeral pyre, including whatever it was she knew about fixing their botched necromancy.
Caring for the household in Meredith's absence is Teddy Ingram, whose steadying presence in the rural town of Townsend gets tested against a story that trades some of the first book's academic banter for swords, guilt, and a fair amount of bird-related chaos.
Second in Isabel Agajanian's Spells for Life and Death series, Our Grim Auguria keeps the dark-academia witchcraft of Modern Divination but pushes harder into grief, inheritance, and what a family owes its ghosts.
A witch focused on self-preservation, tangled in her coven's attempts to reverse witchkind's decline through necromancy.
Aurelia's deceased mother, whose ghost holds secrets the coven needs to fix their necromancy.
Caretaker of Louisa Eakley and a steady presence in the haunted town of Townsend.
