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.

Worth His Salt

“He needs to know what’s going on.” Lachtin was far more annoyed than he let on, it was a silent blazing strong enough to leave Eldred breathless.


“What is going on?” Mo shifted his weight, and for the first time today he reminded Eldred of the man he’d been when they’d first met—big and reliable.


“I told you I’m a witch, didn’t I?” Eldred had mentioned it but probably not in a way to make Mo realise he actually was one.


Mo narrowed his eyes and hopelessness washed over Eldred—there was no time to convince a sceptic, and he needed Mo if this was going to work. He needed both of them. He might be the one doing the banishing, but he couldn’t do it without grounding and joined faith.
