Spells for Forgetting

Emery Blackwood’s life changed forever the night her best friend was found dead and the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of murdering her. Years later, she is managing the family company, Blackwood's Tea Shoppe Herbal Tonics & Tea Leaf Readings, and living a tranquil life on the foggy, isolated beaches of Saoirse Island—something her adolescent self vowed she would never accomplish. But Emery senses something is about to happen as the folklore- and magic-infused island starts to exhibit odd phenomena. When August returns for the first time in fourteen years, he uncovers the history that the town has made a valiant effort to forget. The next morning, she discovers that every single tree on Saoirse has changed color in a single night.

August is aware that Saoirse does not welcome him, especially after the night when everything changed. Lily Morgan was discovered dead in the shadowy woods as a fire raged at the Salt family vineyard, rocking the foundation of their close-knit community and painting August as a murderer. He has to face the people who abandoned him and the one unhealed wound from his past—Emery—when he goes back to lay his mother's ashes. However, there are other reasons why the community wants August gone, and the revelation of long-standing secrets and profound betrayals poses a serious danger to putting an end to the mystery surrounding Lily's murder.
