EXCERPT ONLY

The third book in the Ceristen series, sequel to The Journey and The Village.

Murder. It was undeniable. The man lay stabbed through the heart on the tavern floor, spiteful scratches ripping across his face. And Wilhelm Dickson, Inspector of the Peace, was faced with the question: which of them had done it?

Out of only six inn-guests, the answer did not seem too hard to find. But this was no simple brawl - no, this was something much, much darker...

And it was all too long until he began to realize how dark it was.

An intense, thrilling tale, blending murder mystery and high fantasy together into one.

***Summary stinks. Will improve it... someday...***

You may read this book without having read the previous two. However, I STRONGLY encourage you to read them, or as much of them as you are able, in order to give you a better sense of the characters.

Rated PG-13 for depictions of intense emotional trauma and some dark-ish themes, as well as mild violence and scary images.All Rights Reserved
