Just when I think things are finally starting to calm down, I come face-to-face with my long-lost twin. Turns out, being death’s daughter is a whole lot more than just kicking ass and taking names. There are things like rules...and responsibilities. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the monster that’s killed me in all my past lives. That’s a thing, too. There’s also this teensy little problem with the tensions between council members turning deadly. Their toxic vibes are getting to people and it’s only a matter of time until someone does something crazy. Now I gotta figure out what my twin wants, learn about my super badass death powers, kill a monster, and stop a war. Wish someone would have prepared me for battling monsters and a veritable witch hunt, but apparently that’s too much to ask. This is the last book in the Reapers of the Grimm Brotherhood series. This series must be read in order.

Babsi is frustrated. The short vacation that was planned for her and her family in Bergfels Village is cancelled. The Christmas market in Bergfels, which her wife wanted to report on, will not take place. Furthermore, the bazaar, which her daughter, Hannah, was involved with planning this year, is in the balance. As if that wasn't annoying enough, Hannah and her friend also run into trouble with the law. Their jaunt to the local ruins of Sturmstein Castle has unexpected consequences, in which a certain Countess Ida of Bergfels-Blumenheide is not uninvolved. What none of them suspects: within the ruin's wrecked walls, the mouse, Murina, has to stand trial - only for doing people a favor, of all things. In this short story about the ruins of Sturmstein Castle, the main characters of Claudia Haase's previously published short stories all join up, but the volume can also be read independently.
