In the backwoods village of Zhizhitsy, right at the edge of the kingdom, strange things happen. In the forest, two young lovers die a mysterious death, and the local policeman sent to investigate the case disappears without a trace. The best detectives of His Majesty—a witch, a fire mage, and a cheeky devil—take it upon themselves to sort out the whole tragedy and find the culprits. But what if the locals either go silent or slam the doors right in their faces? It seems they’ll have to seek help from those who live on the other side of the magical forest. Kelpie, mermaids, marsh-dwellers, reanimated corpses, and drow—who else will these detectives have to face in this gloomy place? And who is she, his mysterious owner?
