Look Up The Mountain, Then Look Down
Cold case Detective Dusk Wish leaves the Lunar Republic - on a business trip to the Kingdom of Aquileia. Meanwhile, Inspector Cécile Vieillefeu wishes to forget.
It is the middle of the 11th century. A young detective specializing in cold cases arrives in Aquila to find a missing person he has barely any information on, though he's excited by the prospect of visiting the Kingdom he adores so much for the history and culture. He is assigned a temporary partner to help him around, an older griffoness who doesn't share this passion of his.
Neither can imagine what they will find.
