The Stolen Moon: a Murder Mystery Season

The prologue

The griffin that lands on your windowsill on the morning after Midsummer carries a single letter, sealed with silver wax. Inside, in an old man's careful hand, are six words: I DID NOT LOSE THE MOON. Last night, for the first time in five hundred years, the moon of Evenfall did not rise. The Royal Moonwarden has been dismissed in disgrace, everyone blames the werewolves, and the Crown offers a reward that nobody has claimed. You are the only detective in Evenfall who does not use a crystal ball. Wherever your cases take you this year, look for the moonlight.
