In the quaint village of Bearstone, Leonor, a former mercenary with a bounty on her head, is hiding under the guise of an innkeeper. She leads a life as unassuming as her inn, until a winter storm brings an unexpected influx of travelers and with them, a dark secret.

When a snobbish mage is found murdered in her best room, Leonor's past skills are unwittingly summoned back to life. With the road to the city snowed and help days away, she must navigate through a web of village gossip, ancient secrets, and unexpected alliances.

As she delves deeper, she discovers that the key to solving the murder lies in the shadowed history of Bearstone itself. In a village where everyone hides a secret and the past clings as tightly as ever, she must confront her own hidden history to protect those she loves.

From the bustling inn's hearth to the frozen shores of Silverpool Lake, "Mages & Murder" weaves a tale of magic, mystery, and the unbreakable bonds of a community. Join Leonor as she uncovers long-buried secrets and faces an unexpected killer.

When retired postmaster Albert Schumer is found dead on the steps of the post office, the whole town of Mystic Notch is disappointed he won’t be able to play in the annual checkers tournament.

But when his ghost informs middle-aged bookstore owner Willa Chance that he died trying to deliver an old letter, which has mysteriously gone missing, Willa realizes Albert didn’t just slip and fall. Someone killed him. Even worse, it turns out the letter contains a list of ingredients for a spell that could wreak havoc on Mystic Notch if it falls into the wrong hands.

The good news is that Pandora and the Mystic Notch cats are on the case. The bad news is that Pandora hasn’t made much progress in getting Willa to receive her subtle communications. She’s going to have to step up her game in that area because the cats are depending on her to secure the help of the humans if they want to stop the killer and protect the letter. Lucky thing Willa’s love interest, Eddie Striker, seems to be more receptive to Pandora’s attempt at communication.

Pandora might have a way to help the humans stop the person with the letter, earn the respect of the other cats, and help Willa and Striker realize they are made for each other. Will it work? Let’s hope so, because the fate of Mystic Notch depends on it.
