When prophecy predicts murder, can foreknowledge change fate?

Samuel Hartwell has been the beloved village baker for thirty years, known for his excellent bread and quiet demeanor. But when prophetic dreams begin haunting his sleep—dreams that come true with terrifying accuracy—the fifty-year-old baker fears he's losing his mind.

First, he dreams of stolen chickens. The next day, they vanish exactly as he foresaw. Then consecrated candlesticks disappear from the church, precisely as his visions warned. Now Samuel's dreams have turned dark: someone will fall from the church tower during the May Fair. Someone will die. And he can't see who.

Desperate for help, Samuel turns to The Liminal Academy, where young people with supernatural abilities learn to harness their gifts. There, he meets Tommy Mills, a student who shares Samuel's prophetic abilities—and who dreamed the same vision of stolen chickens from miles away.

As Tommy and the Academy's unusual spirit faculty member, Elizabeth Martin, work to teach Samuel control over his emerging abilities, a sinister pattern emerges. Someone is using Samuel's published warnings to stay ahead of authorities, stealing blessed objects associated with fulfilled prophecies. And they're building toward something far more dangerous: creating a "death omen" through prophesied murder.

With only two weeks until the May Fair, student leader Clara Burton must coordinate an investigation that spans the village and the Academy. The target is Sarah Fletcher, a sixteen-year-old visiting relative who wears her grandmother's blessed hair comb—the final piece in a dark collector's twisted plan.

But prophecy isn't fate. It's a warning. And if Samuel can master his newfound gift in time, perhaps the future can be rewritten before tragedy strikes.

A standalone Victorian mystery with supernatural elements, perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, historical fiction, and stories where found family and community triumph over darkness. No prior series knowledge required.
