A sensational romantasy reimagining of Bluebeard from Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times -bestselling author and ''Queen of Fairytale Retellings'' ( Booklist ). The ghost of Bluebeard. A handsome count. A con artist in over her head. Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts. She and her sister eke out a living by selling fraudulent spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of Count Bastien Saphir''s mansion - who killed three of his wives more than a century ago. But she never expected to meet his great-grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is handsome, wealthy and when he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his home of Bastien''s ghost, she can''t resist. But when murder returns to the House Saphir, Mallory is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of payment, she''ll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft. Still that all sounds easy compared to her biggest challenge: learning to trust her heart. Especially when her heart''s desire might be the murderer himself.
