Aethelgard Archives: The Case of the Fading Phantom

In the rain-slicked, gaslit streets of Aethelgard, a city where magic and mortal coexist in a fragile truce, resides Agnes 'Aggie' McPherson. A private investigator with the unique and dangerous ability to read the memories of objects, she runs 'Spectral Analysis,' an agency for cases that go beyond human comprehension. Her world is turned upside down when a desperate, fading ghost walks through her door, claiming he was murdered. With no body, no evidence, and the city's magical authorities declaring the case closed, Aggie must navigate a labyrinth of corrupt nobles, forbidden magic, and ancient secrets to find a killer who can erase a soul from existence.
