Christmas is officially down in my house. The place looks pretty empty, and I think I really like it. Hubby will have room to move around again, but only for a few minutes. I am planning to move just a few of my plants indoors to protect them from the cold. HAHA!!! It’s going to look like Fergully in here in about three days. My argument will be that we need the fresh air. I’m not sure if that will fly, so I think I will bring in a few extra plants, and when he complains I will bring the extra ones back out. See.. I can compromise.

A dying man’s last words point toward a tantalizing treasure, a forbidden love, and the secrets of a shattered family’s past.

Overnight, the Jewish population goes into hiding as Christian Zantiots make a great sacrifice. Pantelis and Violeta come closer, and a medieval treasure suddenly vanishes.

After becoming a witch, she believes the existence of the fabled beasties is entirely possible, but could there be a more… human explanation for the murder?
