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.

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.
