(Book 1) On the night of the Harvest Fest, a young wizard is struck down with a death curse. With no perpetrator to catch, everyone casts blame toward the Vale family, recalling their past of abusing black magic and murderous chaos. Lucien Cromwell, a wizard involved in the investigation, is the only one who believes they are innocent. Or at the very least, he knows Castor Vale, his childhood best friend, wouldn't hurt a soul. However, proving their innocence is a harder task than he thought. With clues pointing to Castor and his family, Lucien is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He doesn't want to accuse his best friend, but his trust wavers the further the investigation goes. Can he see through the mist of lies and mysteries and find the murderer, or will his heart succumb and blind him from the truth?
