Coming Later This Year
Inspector Halin vé Wexon Returns
Monumental change is coming to the Kingdom of Nimaéa.
Magick, once rare and feared, has begun to seep back into the world. With a newly proclaimed royal mandate, the power of the Aether may soon lie within the grasp of many… but such power always carries a price.
Three months have passed since the deadly events in Akurrat. Inspector Halin vé Wexon continues to master the deadly forces within him and cherish time with the life and family he nearly lost. For a hopeful moment, it seems as if Hal had found peace.
Unfortunately, peace never lasts.
When a sailor is found brutally slain, Hal, Viv and fellow inspectors Tommy vé Totten and Andriu vé Callan are thrust into a deadly investigation at sea. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, the truth behind the killing threatens to expose something far more dangerous.
War looms on the horizon while unseen pieces move in the shadows.
Hal must uncover the truth before nefarious schemes culminate and dismantle the fragile peace of Nimaéa.
