A Summer WishFest. A Beloved Victim. A Discovery That Could Fracture Everything.

Summer has arrived in Wishville, Vermont, and the town is buzzing with excitement for WishFest—sunshine, sweet tea, and wishes ready to be granted. But when beloved physical therapist Michael Zaccaria goes missing during a weekend camping trip, his body is found days later in the woods… perilously close to the ancient spiral path that hides a dangerous secret.

As the townsfolk mourn a man everyone thought they knew, Guardian of the Well Lyra Wells is pulled into another mystery—one that risks unraveling more than just a small-town secret. The murder sparks a magical fracture in the hidden Veiled Vault beneath Elarion, the forbidden realm that humans still believe is only legend.

With her allies—gruff police chief Holden Thorn and brooding Dweller enforcer Calderis—Lyra must uncover the truth before both realms spiral into chaos. But as old enemies rise, new suspects emerge, and her own heart wavers between duty and desire, the real trap might be closer than she thinks.

Because some lies can break bones... and others can crack the world wide open.
