When she was hired at Black Oak Cottage, Elodie had no idea she’d find herself working for a witch and her acid-tongued new mistress, Aleida, was not expecting a housemaid to turn up on her doorstep. But the old witch is dead now, and somehow it’s Elodie’s job to clean up the mess. Some people knit socks by the fire at night. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city - or themselves. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt, and Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her - and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. In the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies.
