"Something wicked this way comes..."

When grief brings the living to their door, the Dunsin sisters offer comfort. When the dead cry for justice, they offer something else entirely.

Witchmoth in the Wake reimagines the three weird sisters of Macbeth as contemporary witches running an apothecary bar in coastal Oregon's Gothic town of Grimlock. The Dunsin sisters--each marked with the same witchmoth tattoo--have a gift: they can read the final moments of the dead through bones and dried flowers left at gravesites. When these readings reveal murder, abuse, or violence, the sisters ensure the guilty don't go unpunished.

When no one listens... they do.

Bad men must die--and the sisters take care of the rest. It's a system that has never failed them.

Duffy Dunsin has never read the bones wrong--until now.

Fire-scarred private investigator Thane Cawdor arrives, carrying finger bones from their latest victim's grave. Her reading explodes with screams, flames, and death--marking Thane as their next target. But as Duffy prepares to destroy the man she's inexorably drawn to, something feels different. His guilt runs deeper than any killer she's encountered, and for the first time, she begins to question what the bones are really telling her.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair"--and sometimes the hero is mistaken for the villain.
