My aunt Rosalinda loved the city of Rayston. There she lived and there she died—by a death so mysterious that to this day nobody can explain it. She left me her shop, where we once together created magical ornaments: a strange protective amulet and a whole heap of riddles. I came to Rayston to figure things out on my own, return to work as an artifact-maker, and find out what my aunt had been hiding from me lately. And maybe—maybe this is my chance to earn forgiveness. Believe me, there is something to forgive me for.
