Synopsis

The Rag Bone Man by Charlotte Lawrence is an occult mystery that incorporates a rich melange of magickal elements―from amulets, crystals, the Tarot, past lives and elemental beings to near-death experiences, shapeshifting and modern magickal ritual―to show the subtle ways psychic phenomena can intrude into anyone's life and influence even the most "rational" of people . . .. Rian McGuire is a seemingly ordinary young woman who owns a New Age book and herb shop in a small Maryland town. When a disturbing man leaves a mysterious old book in her shop―a book worth committing murder to recover―and begins to invade her dreams, she is launched into a bizarre, often horrifying journey into the arcane. As Rian's family and friends gather psychic forces to penetrate the mysteries that surround her, Rian finally learns the Rag Bone Man's true identity. But will she be able to harness the undreamt-of power of her own magickal birthright before the final terrifying confrontation?
