The artistic world descends on Misty Valley for the grand unveiling of Io's new painting, and a master art thief stages the art heist of the century. Not just any thief, one that the deadly duo is set to spring a trap on. Their quarry paints their own plot twist and strikes on Elain's home turf!
In a surreal twist, a famous restauranteur invades Misty Valley, seeking to sculpt a relationship with Storm Development. Little does he realise that he's competing with Storm's own daughter for the coveted spots in the new resorts. To add insult to injury, his recipe to win sets all of Ebrel's family against him.
Another errant brushstroke is the return of someone April hoped to never see again.
Can Elain catch her quarry before all of Misty Valley boils over? Will Ebrel's nemesis doom Mystic Brews? Can they unveil the thief before someone is framed for murder?
If you like sassy heroines, colourful characters, and a side of spells with your cuppa joe, then you’ll love Alyn Troy’s otherworldly adventure.

Alyn Troy is American from the Midwest (Indiana) who writes The Mystic Brews and Pixie Twist series of Cozy Mysteries. In addition to Indiana, he's lived in Southern California, where the Pixie Twist series is set, and has served as a history docent on notable pier in SoCal. In his past lives, he's been a journalist, a wedding photographer, and an adjunct professor. Alyn gets daily assistance from his fuzzy familiar (AKA "Lord Fuzzbutt"). When not helping his human with the writing of paranormal cozy mysteries, Lord Fuzzbutt likes to sit out outside and watch the hummingbirds dart about like pixies. He often yowls at the door, waiting to head to the patio for chipmunk duty. Fortunately, the little rodents are craftier than Fuzzbutt is. Alyn's beverage of choice is dark roast coffee with a dash of honey, and a splash of half-n-half. In addition to being half-way competent with his home espresso machine, Alyn makes a mean Mai Tai.
