Power, politics, and a magical castle full of backstabbing delegates—what could possibly go wrong?

I just landed a seat on the Vanguard—the supernatural world’s top council at the Accords—and apparently, that makes me a target. The last person in my role died under mysterious circumstances. Awesome.

Now I’m stuck in a cursed castle juggling ancient grudges, deadly secrets, and enchanted dress codes while smiling at enemies over dinner. When another Vanguard member is murdered and my friends go missing, I know something bigger is at play.

To stop the Accords from crumbling, I’ll have to survive magical politics, unmask a killer, and figure out who kidnapped my friends. Good thing I’ve got a grumpy goddess riding shotgun, a curious Witness with a nose for secrets, and an old-school monster hunter who prefers stakes to diplomacy.

Sticks and Stones and Sigils is book 5 in the Artemis Necklace Series and delivers a sharp, snarky paranormal mystery full of ancient magic, deadly secrets, and a heroine who’s running out of patience—and time.
