"Lady Lyria, Healer of Ularim has failed to send scheduled ailment reports for two consecutive cycles. Find her, and make sure any issues are taken care of."

When an official healer fails to send reports to the Duchess of Graystoke, Diane of Erie is sent to investigate. Upon finding a vandalized home and rumors of witchcraft, she assumes the worst and redoubles her investigation to find out what exactly happened in the little village of Ularim. Little does she realize someone will pay any price to keep that secret buried. 

Six months was a long time to be gone - too long. Trust runs thin, and work piles high. Diane and Edwyn come home to find just that and more. With a murderer on their first day back, the inquisitors must dive deep into the clues while navigating a home territory that doesn't feel like home anymore.

Two inquisitors. One missing child.

Returning to Lyre, Edwyn and Diane expect routine cases, not a trail of death and unanswered questions. A girl who claimed to hear her dead sister's voice is sent home with barely a word. A sudden forest fire that killed three is dismissed. The pair begin their search by seeking the child for answers, but what they uncover ignites a mystery as lethal as it is unholy.
