In a city where magic is outlawed, detective Elias Vance investigates a string of impossible murders-victims found turned to glass, their final expressions frozen in terror. When his search leads him to a hidden world within the city's shadows, he discovers The Hollow Veil-a secret society of mages who claim reality itself is unraveling. As Elias teams up with a rogue sorceress, he learns that someone-or something-is hunting those who possess forbidden magic, using an ancient spell lost to time. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover a conspiracy that threatens their city and the very fabric of existence. Now, Elias must embrace the magic he once swore to eradicate to stop a force older than time itself. But can he solve the mystery before the veil between worlds shatters completely? Would you want it to lean more toward noir, high fantasy, or something else?
