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

“Let’s do it then. Whatever it is we’re doing.” Mo went towards the door, his body language determined but his eyes worried.


Eldred grinned. “Just do what Lachtin tells you to, and we’ll be fine...hopefully.”


Mo raised his eyebrows and shook his head.


“Before we rush out of here, though, we need a plan.” Eldred clutched the bag with the candles, the sage, and the salt to his chest. He hoped this night wouldn’t scare Mo away, because perhaps Lachtin was right—perhaps he could form that kind of connection with Mo...if Mo would be sticking around after this night.


THE DARK WAS THICKaround them, and Mo’s heart was thudding in his throat. The sound of the waves crashing against the stony shore heightened his awareness. Never before had he been afraid to approach his own home, but as he looked at the lone cottage next to the old lighthouse, he didn’t want to go there.


“Is the lighthouse unlocked?” Eldred came to stand next to him, and Mo relaxed a fraction.
