The Swallow's Descent
Text and character heavy, a classic whodunnit, alternates between find-the-clue exploration and accuse-the-perp excoriation, one to two hours depending on your reading speed and attention to detail
Present day, 1206: William Byske, an agent of the magical special ops unit Arcane Reconnaissance Corps (ARC) is tasked to guard the ambassador on a diplomatic mission. Ambassador Belgrave is pompous, incompetent, and generally a dick, but, even so... when he's killed at the St. Hyssmark Monastery from a blow to the head and with a mysterious wire-tail swallow jammed in his throat, it falls to William to solve the case and prevent all-out war.
