Coles A SPELL FOR THE LIVING, A CURSE FOR THE DEAD: A Cozy Witch and Apothecary Mystery at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

Some curses are written in blood.
This one was written into the land itself.
Eleven months after claiming her inheritance, Ada Mensah is finally becoming the Keeper Sable Creek needs. The Covenant’s magical working is climbing back from decades of deliberate damage. The garden is answering her. The Grimoire is opening. And the Harvest Working—the first full ceremonial event since the Severance—is only days away.
Then a beloved local hardware merchant is found dead inside the ceremonial circle.
To the outside world it looks like natural heart failure. To Ada it is instantly recognizable as something far older and far more precise: a meticulously crafted targeting curse embedded directly into the Covenant’s magical circuit.
As Ada investigates alongside Sheriff Dex Thibodeau and structural engineer Felix Marchant, she uncovers decades of quiet corruption, secret warnings written in a forgotten magical script, and a journalist who is not what he claims to be. Complicating everything is the sudden arrival of Felix’s estranged father and the unearthing of the First Moon codex—an ancient text that reveals the Covenant’s true sanctuary origins and the dangerous cost of what the living still carry.
The working is recovering.
The town is healing.
But someone has already decided that the next death will not be the last.
A Spell for the Living, A Curse for the Dead is the atmospheric second installment in The Sage & Shadow Mysteries—a richly layered blend of Southern Gothic mystery, inherited magic, and the quiet, costly work of staying.
