Alchemical Properties

With a series of murder mysteries solved, a potential war between noble houses averted, and a vile group of necromancers put to the sword, the King's Justice Everton Ward has little time to rest on his laurels. The King of the walled city-state of Havenhearth has been murdered, and Ward's friend Prince Xavier stands as the sole suspect. Blocked from the investigation by the encroaching forces of Pope Roland, who seems primed to claim the throne for himself, Ward must turn to his newest friends, Dalish investigator Pascal Vincennes and mage Androgast, to prove the prince's innocence. While war is threatened between royalist houses and those supporting the church, Ward, Vincennes, and Androgast must decipher a conspiracy that runs far deeper than a simple case of regicide. An incomprehensible power sits at the center of a spider's web of machinations, and the three men must unravel it all before Havenhearth is destroyed.
