Closing out the week with my most recent project!
Berend was once a Son of Galaser, a member of the most prestigious mercenary company on the continent. Now, the Sons are no more, and only a handful of his former companions remain–one of whom was dismembered last night in what appears to be a demon-summoning ritual out of an old legend.
Isabel is a Sentinel of Ondir, the god of death. Armed with bell, book, and candle, her duty is to send restless spirits to the afterlife. Asking the ghost of an ex-mercenary if he saw his killer before he died is a routine task, but she soon finds that things will not be so easy: though everything Isabel knows says it must be impossible, it appears the soul has been damaged, torn asunder with magic that should not, cannot exist.
Together, they must hunt down a murderer with powers beyond imagination and discover terrible secrets of both magic and science in a city that is desperately trying to find a balance between the two.
Part One is now complete, and you can find it starting here.
