The Spectral Orchid

Leaf & Scale, Book 3

By: Tilly Wallace

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

Some flowers bring beauty. This one brings the dead.

In the cemetery of Drake’s Bend, a most unusual flower unfurls its bloom. The spectral orchid signals that a restless soul has returned—and it has unfinished business. Fern must piece together clues to settle a soul who lived an unremarkable life, before villagers are gathered in spectral arms to join it in death.

But as Fern unravels the spirit’s final days, she discovers that person’s fate was bound to a far greater secret—one tied to her father’s murder. When another orchid flowers, the truth she has tried to discover for five years might finally be within her grasp…except the trail pulls her beyond the veil between the living and the dead. In a realm where love can bind too tightly, how will she return before her time runs out?
