The Triad Murders
The Mage War Chronicles: Book One
Synopsis:
Tynan Locke’s magic allows him to sense when someone is truthful or speaking lies, but he has primarily used his skill to rake in winnings at the gambling tables. When he witnesses the murder of a member of the Triad, he’s forced to work with an old nemesis, the guard-captain of the Citadel, to uncover the perpetrator of the crime. The guard-captain doesn’t trust him, but the feeling is mutual.
When a dragon-mage and another member of the Triad also wind up dead, Tynan is forced to use his innate ability to assist with all three investigations, at the behest of not only the Citadel guard, but his long-time friend and half-dragon, Dantellion Fohn.
Most suspect the woman who calls herself “Oracle” knows something about the murders. Rumors abound that the Oracle can see the future, and hundreds of magi have allied themselves with her cause. As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear the Oracle has much more in mind than simply viewing the future for those who believe in her ability. The magi of the Citadel are forced to choose sides, allying with her or the tattered remains of the Triad.
Will Tynan uncover the truth behind the murders in time, or will he become another faceless victim when the magi descend into war?
