Jane is determined to rescue Annette from a gruesome fate - but how do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? Outsmarting Lynne will require all Jane's cunning, as well as her magic. And it will also bring Malcolm back into her life, whether she likes it or not.

How can she prove its connection to Ringold when her art-world superiors declare it a fake? And who has been holding onto it for all these years—and why?
