A note for parents
This is a noir-style mystery adventure set in the Eberron fantasy world, featuring a murder investigation with combat and some dark themes. The violence is present but not gratuitous, and the story emphasizes solving mysteries over graphic depictions. While aimed at young adult readers familiar with D&D settings, the tone is notably darker than typical middle-grade fantasy, with occasional mature language and references to alcohol.
