The Wheel turns to Yule, and the promise of renewal glimmers beneath the frost. But as secrets stir in Edindale’s darkened heart, Keli Milanni must call upon her magic—and her courage—to rekindle the light…

As winter deepens in Edindale, Illinois, attorney and modern-day witch Keli Milanni finds comfort in her Wiccan faith and the promise of Yule’s returning light. With her closest friends now aware of her spiritual path, Keli feels more grounded than ever—until a new case at her law firm threatens to shake that balance. She and her prim colleague Crenshaw Davenport are tasked with investigating a blackmail scheme targeting a powerful businessman and mayoral candidate. But when their client is found dead after a lavish holiday gala, Keli suspects foul play behind what the police call an accident.

Following a trail of secrets, grudges, and hidden motives, Keli uncovers that nearly everyone connected to the victim had something to gain—or something to hide. From political rivals to scorned investors and old family connections, the web of deceit grows ever tighter. As she digs deeper, Keli must untangle the lies surrounding the victim’s death—and confront echoes of her own past—before the darkness of the season consumes more than just the Yule fire’s light.
