Lena Hartwell just wanted to relax.
Divorced. Menopausal. Accidentally magical. She's survived murder charges, ancient gods, crossword curses, rampaging golems, stolen grimoires, estranged daughters, necromancers, manticores, and Fae bingo. Now she's trying a yoga class to find some peace.
What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.
During a restorative yoga pose, Lena accidentally summons a yurei?a vengeful spirit from Japanese folklore. The ghost is Rose Tanaka, a young woman who died in Crystal Hollow during World War II. She's trapped by grief, betrayal, and unfinished business.
Now Rose is haunting the yoga studio, and she won't rest until someone acknowledges the truth.
Lena doesn't know how to banish a yurei. But she knows how to listen.
With her coven, her daughter Jade, and her grumpy Mandrake by her side, Lena uncovers Rose's story: a Japanese American family torn apart by internment, a love that turned to betrayal, and a heartbreak that led to the lake.
To help Rose find peace, Lena must track down the descendants of the man who wronged her and convince them to apologize. But forgiveness isn't easy, especially when it means confronting a painful past.
Yoga & Yurei is the eighth book in The Crystal Hollow Series?a twenty-book journey perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Ghost Bride, and anyone who believes that healing takes time, forgiveness is powerful, and yoga can be surprisingly dangerous.
