The Eyes Have It

In an alternate-history world where formalized magic has supplanted physical science, a prominent noble is found dead in his castle with an apparent gunshot wound, and the household and visitors become potential witnesses and suspects. The investigation pairs a methodical official with a practicing sorcerer who apply both legal procedure and ritual detection to reconstruct events, examine enchanted objects, and interrogate routines and motives. The plot weaves close domestic observation, ceremonial obligations, and the practical limits of arcane forensics as the investigators untangle competing clues to reveal how the murder was accomplished and why.
