Eldred Henstare is a not so powerful witch who’s been left in charge of helping the city’s lingering spirits to move on. He usually handles it pretty well, but something’s wrong with the spirit leading him to the abandoned lighthouse.<br><br>Mo Vin likes his quiet life in the cottage next to the lighthouse, at least it’s quiet until one night when Eldred Henstare -- young, beautiful, and crazy -- arrives. After that night things aren’t the same. A man is found dead on the beach outside Mo’s cottage, and he’s almost sure he’s the one who killed him, except it doesn’t make sense. Why would he kill anyone?<br><br>Eldred needs to get rid of the ghost haunting Mo. If he doesn’t Mo’s life is in danger, but to do it he needs both Mo and his brother Lachtin to help out.

“What? Aren’t you gonna ask me about the drowned man?”


The officers stared at him, but the woman didn’t sit down again. “What drowned man?”


“Isn’t that why you’re here? Because of the drowned man you found on the beach?” Mo didn’t get it, why hadn’t they put him in cuffs? Sure they’d come here to arrest him.


“When did you see a drowned man on the beach?” The man looked as if he was about to reach over the table and touch his hand.


“This morning. There was emergency personnel on the beach.” He’d seen them; they’d been there.


“Ah...” The man smiled again, and Mo wanted to punch him. Since when had he become violent? The realisation that he truly did want to smash the officer’s face in made him sit a little straighter. He didn’t normally want to hit people.
