博客來In the ancient district of the Burghal, where history and secrets intertwine within the sprawling city of Vancera, a shadowy assassin is systematically hunting down members of the prestigious Fyrn bloodline.
When Constable Jabuk responds to a warded alarm only to discover the brutalized body of Marchen Alan Heydel-bearing five precise stab wounds-all evidence points to Auberon Florel, a respected Ward designer whose mastery of engineering and magic has protected countless citizens from both natural and supernatural threats.
As Inspector Hugon and his dedicated team race to uncover the truth, Auberon’s daughter Adela launches her own desperate investigation to prove her father’s innocence. Their separate paths reveal a sinister conspiracy of bribery, blackmail, and smuggling that entangles Vancera’s elite-with the Fyrn bloodline at its center.
Meanwhile, unnatural weather patterns besiege the city, threatening to tear it apart. The once-revered Tetrad-the four patron Saints of the city-seem powerless against the growing chaos. Is there a connection between these calamities and the murders?
With six Fyrn family members already dead and the seventh potential victim still unknown, time is running out. In a world where the line between justice and corruption blurs, the very foundation of the Burghal’s history hangs in the balance.
The Seventh Kill is a clean fantasy mystery thriller suitable for all ages, featuring a historical setting with subtle magical elements, intricate political intrigue, and a race against time to prevent another kill.
