About The Seventh Kill:
The Seventh Kill is a tale of suspense and intrigue where the line between justice and corruption is blurred and the very fabric of The Burghal’s history is at stake.
In The Burghal, where history and old secrets intertwine, someone is hunting down members of the prestigious Fyrn bloodline. With the city’s protection seemingly waning, Inspector Hugon and his small team of dedicated officers must unravel the mystery before it’s too late.
The case takes a dark turn when Constable Jabuk responds to a warded alarm, discovering the brutalized body of Marchen Alan Heydel—pierced by five vicious stab wounds. Auberon Florel, a respected professional Ward designer, stands over the corpse. His expertise in combining engineering and magic has protected countless people and properties from both natural and supernatural threats. But now, Auberon finds himself the prime suspect in a murder that shakes the city to its core.
As Adela Florel races against time to prove her father’s innocence, a deeper conspiracy begins to unfold—a web of bribery, blackmail, and smuggling that entangles high-profile individuals from the Fyrn bloodline. Who is pulling the strings behind this deadly plot?
All the while, the city of Vancera, and especially the Burghal, is besieged by unnatural weather that threatens to tear it apart. The once-revered Tetrad, the four Saints of the Topaceldra, seem distant and powerless. Where is their protection now?
