The Brothers Grimm meets Knives Out in this unexpected, hilarious, and wholly original fantasy-murder-mystery.
But everyone in the castle--even the Lilac herself--has secrets to hide, and as the walls literally start to close in around them, the Lilac worries that her first job as a bounty hunter may be her last....
If the Lilac wants to make it out with her reputation intact, it\'s going to be up to her to figure out who the killer is.
Now, everyone is magically sealed inside the castle--and there is a murderer among them.
And that\'s before the dead body is discovered.
But when their investigation brings them to a dinner party at Castle Angbar, and they meet the Angbar family and their servants and guests--an unsavory group of nobles, mages, and assorted creatures, each more shady than the last--the Lilac begins to wonder if the reward is worth the trouble.
But the Lilac has set her goals on becoming the best bounty hunter in the Thirteen Kingdoms--and when a priceless artifact goes missing from the home of famed monster hunter Baron Angbar, the Lilac and Netta are eager to apprehend the thief and make a name for themselves.
In reality, the Lilac is just a kid, and the bard who wrote all that is her best friend, Dulcinetta.
Yet.
None of that is true.
That there\'s no criminal she can\'t catch, no mystery she can\'t solve.
The bard songs say that she\'s the world\'s most fearsome bounty hunter.
The Lilac .
