Book 2 in the "Oracle, Tailor, Curator" series.

The sequel to Coup de Coeur brings more mystery, mayhem, romance, and danger as Calix, Aubrey, and Ethaniel discover new questions about the nature of magic and deeper, darker family secrets...

After the tragic consequences and betrayals of Coup de Coeur, Calix, Aubrey, Ethaniel, and Lawton are now trapped in Rosehill, the ancestral home where Calix spent many summers with his mother, Lily Addington.

While the walls of Rosehill are closely protected by wards and other defenses, the house contains many memories, some of which Calix would rather forget. But Rosehill's secrets - and his mother's - are about to come to light. And the question of who his mother really was forces Calix to understand more about her and himself. Are Oracle powers truly destructive, as Lily claimed, or was she seeking something else?

And the demimonde, a strange realm between realms, beckons with curled finger...and it's aimed directly at Ethaniel. The lure of that unknown place, and its power, is embedded deep in Harkness family history; a history full of death, destruction, and exile. Ethaniel was warned long ago by his father that his mother's family would always try to claim him, but he is discovering the demimonde is a far more tempting, and frightening, siren.

While Aubrey tries to hold them all together and protect those closest to him with his own abilities, his personal demons are threatening to burst forth. Can he keep Calix and Ethaniel safe while finding a way to defeat the Golden Order? It feels impossible, and yet he must do it. Failure is not an option.
