A thrilling sci fi fantasy adventure by Jason Alexander
£1.00£0.99
In the city of Aethelburg, progress and magic live in a fragile truce—and some mysteries can only be solved by someone who speaks both languages.
Kael Skry is a private investigator who walks the grimy seams between the city's chrome skyscrapers and its ancient, rune-carved gutters. Part cynical detective, part Magi-Tech War veteran, he and his cybernetic arm specialize in cases where the arcane and the artificial violently collide.
His latest case is an impossible one. The legendary broomstick of the city’s most powerful witch has vanished from a penthouse sealed by impenetrable magic. There are no broken wards, no forced locks, no witnesses. It was simply… gone.
But the method of the theft is more disturbing than the crime itself, revealing a dangerous new force at play in Aethelburg’s shadows. What begins as a search for a stolen artifact quickly spirals into a conspiracy that threatens to shatter the city's very foundation. The broomstick is the key to a plan far more sinister than petty theft, and Kael finds himself on a collision course with ruthless tech moguls, his old partner on the City Guard, and a power that understands how to turn magic and technology into weapons.
To solve the case, Kael must unravel a secret that could upend the balance of his world, forcing him to confront a truth that is as brilliant as it is terrifying. He is the only one who can stop what's coming, but in a city built on lies, finding the truth might be the one thing that gets him killed.
