A haunted tapestry. A cursed dynasty. Dark magic, and a supernatural creature with an insatiable hunger. Cassidy Kincaide and the Deadly Curiosities crew get a call from a desperate real estate investor to un-haunt a mansion that has belonged to a family of dark witches for generations.

When Cassidy and her allies go after the witch and the djinn, they find themselves targeted by magic that can bend perception and reshape reality. The psychic pain caused by the cursed tapestries fuels the power of the djinn and the dark witch, setting up a showdown with the Alliance for the soul of Charleston. Can they stop the witch, defeat the djinn, destroy the tapestries, and still make it to the wedding on time?

The city state of Ravenwood is wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. Ambitious and ruthless leaders use betrayal and assassination to gain their ends.
