Though neither of them would ever admit it aloud, they're missing the thrill of playing detective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo when Violet receives a letter from \"A Heartbroken Mother\" sent to her alter-ego, the Agony Aunt known to the world only as Miss Hermione, her pulse can't help but quicken. The daughter in question has gotten caught up in a cult: the Hermetic Order of the Children of Aed. Rumors of human sacrifices, mystical doings, and a ghost in the ruined Alburn Abbey where the Children pray have gripped the public consciousness, helped along by a series of novels about the group, written by the mysterious Count Orlando, and clearly this girl has fallen prey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiss Hermione’s investigation soon collides with very real life when Violet discovers a surprising connection to the cult. With the dashing-but-frustrating Eli Marsh turning up and a member of the Children poisoned, Violet and Sephora—along with their ever-trusty housekeeper Bunty—may have more intrigue than they can manage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370678128701,"sku":"9781250848581","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781250848581_p0.jpg?v=1771564248","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781250848581","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
