A note for parents
This Eberron fantasy mystery centers on a murder investigation with darker themes fitting the noir detective genre. While not gratuitously graphic, the story includes multiple murders, blood, and morally ambiguous situations that require some maturity to process. The protagonist models persistence and intelligent problem-solving, though the story's emphasis on corruption and moral compromise means it's better suited to older middle-grade or early teen readers.
