An intrigue of witches / Esme Addison.
"Thirty-year-old Black woman Camille Fitzsimons is a talented early American history professor, working in fast-paced Washington DC, with her eyes on promotion. She's also currently persona non grata. Who knew that making an inconvenient historical discovery would see her stuck at her desk, shuffling paper? So when she receives an anonymous and very cryptic invitation to visit historic small-town Robbinsville, North Carolina and hunt for a missing archaeological treasure--with a million-dollar pay out at stake--it's one she can't refuse. Besides, her beloved grandmother lives in Robbinsville, and it's been too long since she's paid her a visit. Soon, Camille's on an exciting treasure hunt, following two-hundred-year-old clues that lead her ever closer to the artifact she's searching for. But what is the artifact? And why is Camille starting to feel like she's at the heart of a terrifying conspiracy she doesn't understand? The answer blows Camille's world apart, plunging her into a dark, glittering world of secret societies, ancient bloodlines, witches and magic, linked to an ages-old conspiracy that could destroy the very principles upon which America was founded."-- Provided by publisher.
