All souls' children

MAGIC CONSULTANT AND SOLUTIONS. This is the slogan on Helena Willow's business card. But when the mayor of Riverton asks her to find a missing Wicca, it is not much help. For the missing woman not only has a secret lover, an unborn child and a weird coven, but also a dubious past. It almost seems as if no one really wants to find her. With the help of Falk, whose own past includes more than just murder and manslaughter, Helena sets out to find the young woman. While emotions come to a boil and several groups attempt to instrumentalize this case for their own purposes, Helena and Falk meet resistance every way they turn. It seems to be for the best if the missing woman remains part of a statistic. But once Helena has made up her mind, there is no stopping her. After all, she has an arsenal of tricks. But what she and Falk find, finally, deep in the mountains, turns her blood to ice. This is a story about gods, humans and monsters, set in a world where magic is part of life and where witches have to pay taxes.
