Naele was never meant to survive. Ever since she was young, she has ignored the will of the gods. Not by choice, but because no priest can decipher the life path marked on her skin. Yet they all agree on one thing: ignoring it means certain death. Naele isn't planning on dying anytime soon, though. She's far too busy for that. Running a medicine shop in a bustling town is hard work. But when death marks start appearing on the skin of the villagers, it becomes clear fate is catching up with her. 🗡️𝗔 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀. 🗓️ 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Meet Agatha and Conan. She is named after her grandma's favourite author and has a dark past she's trying to make up for. He is the son of troubled novelist and has a dreary present he is trying to escape. Forced to spend their summer at the same rundown lakeside resort, Agatha and Conan end up in the middle of a mystery... and each other's business.

One built a reputation being good at being invisible - getting the job done, and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. The other restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, the bones of things that are already there - no new complications. Lara flew in from Singapore expecting sand, sibling arguments, and absolutely nothing else. A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for. Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files. Apparently his intel had gaps. Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.
