On a dark night, a shadow stands at a crossroads. A lone horse and rider, silhouetted against the starry moonless sky. Ancient tales speak of spirits who roam these parts after nightfall, striking terrible bargains. Some even whisper the crossroads is a gate to hell itself. The shadowed figure seems in no hurry, content to wait under the darkness of the new moon.

Deals have been struck, and a debt must be paid.

Into this world comes Rosa Delgado. An investigator. A PeaceKeeper. An Alguacila for the Imperium. A non-believer, she has come to catch a murderer and bring them their due. Armed with her wits, her gun, and her unshakable faith in the rational order of things, Rosa is certain she'll solve this case and restore balance. But the locals speak in hushed tones of forces beyond her ken. Of curses, devils, and vengeful ghosts who claim this land after nightfall. Rosa has no time for such tales. She is an agent of law and reason. But what will she do when she is faced with legend made real? Will she solve the murder while clinging to her beliefs? Or will solving the crime require opening her mind to magics and myths beyond her philosophy? On this moonless night of shifting shadows, Rosa's convictions will be tested like never before.
