A child's trowel catches on a human finger bone in Bellwether's community garden. By sunset, the county has closed the land, seven Black families face displacement, and the dead are being used to justify a transfer none of them approved.
Preservation architect Simone Bell knows the garden is more than soil. Its trees, walls, and buried materials carry emotional echoes, and the newest remains point toward a recent murder hidden inside decades of falsified kinship records and stolen coastal property.
But Simone's second sight is evidence only when ordinary facts can confirm it. As a developer's foundation offers relocation money and a professional complaint threatens her work, she and the Salt Circle must identify the dead, expose Aaron Pike's killer, and prove who truly owns the garden before the next king tide destroys the physical record.
The investigation also tests Simone's hard-won second chance with Darius Vale. When his family appears in the evidence, his request for time collides with her refusal to delay public truth. Love will survive only if protection stops meaning control.
A Tide of Bones and Bloom is a Southern coastal paranormal mystery featuring a capable Black heroine over forty, a women-centered investigative circle, a community-land conspiracy, psychic suspense, mature second-chance romance, moderate sensuality, and a complete mystery resolution.
