A missing heir. A legendary relic. And a phoenix queen dangerously close to burning the world down. Misty Valley is running out of time. The Queen of the Bird Shifters-a phoenix-is nearing immolation. She'll rise again in three years, but only if a temporary heir is in place. The problem? That heir has vanished, and the only thing that might lead to them is a relic no one can even agree exists. The Marocchino Sparrow. Some say it's a magical statue. Others claim it's a key, a symbol, or something far more dangerous. What everyone agrees on is this: if it's real, it could decide who rules-and whether the fragile balance between the magical and mortal worlds survives. As a witch with a talent for stumbling into supernatural politics, I'm suddenly surrounded by bird watchers with agendas, fae officials, and power brokers who all want answers I don't have. Every clue points in a different direction. Every witness is hiding something. And the closer I get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that the Sparrow was hidden for a reason. With the phoenix's countdown ticking closer to zero, I'll have to unravel a mystery layered in myth, lies, and ambition-before someone turns legend into catastrophe. Because if the wrong truth comes to light, Misty Valley won't just lose its cozy charm. It could go up in flames. The Marocchino Sparrow is a high-stakes paranormal mystery blending urban fantasy intrigue, supernatural politics, and a race against time. If you like legendary artifacts, hidden courts, and witches navigating dangerous power games, this installment of the Mystic Brews Mysteries will keep you guessing until the final page
