Back inside Ebonvale Manor, Detective Beaker, Elias, and Lady Millicent uncover a hidden passage in the billiard room—along with the long-lost remains of Rupert. But when Beaker accidentally casts Speak With Dead, their search for answers turns into a séance gone sideways. As Elias, Edgar, and Whiskers attempt to retrieve Millicent’s book to free Rupert’s soul, a shocking twist unfolds: Rupert isn’t ready to rest. With the spell broken and his body restored, Rupert steps from the flames of the grand fireplace—followed by seven of Millicent’s former husbands. The battle for Ebonvale has begun.
