In the amber glow of Willow Creek’s autumn fair, where fiddles scrape secrets from the air and golden scones hide voices from the grave, baker Mia Harper uncovers more than baked mischief—tiny chips embedded in flaky crusts murmur grievances of buried bones and encroaching shadows, unraveling a prank that threatens to pave over pioneer legacies with Seattle’s glossy sprawl. As donations dwindle and the spectral Pie Witch stirs benevolent hexes in the night, Mia kneads clues from folklore archives and orchard oaths, racing a midnight unmasking where whispers turn to cheers, and Willow Creek’s magic proves as resilient as its roots. But in the heart of the hex, one question haunts the dough: who wields the whisk like a wand to save the town’s soul—or shatter it forever?
