Ex-mercenary Nimia Yllaro looks forward to a brighter future after her time on the front lines of war. Fate has other plans for her, though.
When she encounters Sahdina Hano, an eccentric noblewoman, she is catapulted into yet another dangerous conundrum. This time, it’s the murder of a prominent member of a well-respected and long-retired adventuring group.
As Sahdina unravels disturbing clues with her would-be partner in tow, she discovers a sea of questionable suspects with unusual pasts and a deadly secret that sets its sights on each. Together, Nimia and Sahdina must face the tortured past and twisted mind of the murderer.
Will their quest help them close this mind-boggling case before the killer strikes again or has the former mercenary discovered the one opponent she can’t defeat?
Find out in this fantasy mystery perfect for fans of mystery, magic, and murder!

    I think what I enjoyed most about this novel is that it does not lean too heavily on any of it's genres. It grabs a little bit of fantasy over here, some mystery over there, and a sprinkle of the macabre. It's not over-the-top. It's like the author took little bits of the things he enjoys and blended them together to tell a fun, spooky story. There's good world building to let you know the who's who and there is great interaction between Nimia and Sahdina that made me smile. The mystery keeps you guessing as everyone seems like a suspect. The book is well written and paced.
    If you like mystery, fantasy, and a pinch of horror, you should give this book a try!

    I picked this up and literally didn’t put it down until I had finished it! The world building, story line, character development, and everything in between is incredibly crafted. Clearly, the author is a strong reader himself, as you can really see the inspiration drawn from some of the English language’s greatest writers. Brian is definitely an up and coming author and I can’t wait for future installments to come out. Looking forward to following his journey!

    A pretty great fantasy yarn from a debut novelist.

    Gender swapped Holmes and Watson investigating murder, magic, and the undead.

    Good read!
