The world ended once. It just didn’t realize it. In the soot-choked remnants of a dead empire, arcane relics hum beneath the cobblestones, and the echoes of forbidden gods linger in burned-out cathedrals. Lucien Vale returns to the city of Ashgrieve with nothing but a rusted revolver, a fractured mind, and a hunger for answers. Once a soldier. Now a shadow. Branded heretic by the Church, and hunted by those who once called him brother. The Church of the Sacred Flame claims to protect the last light of civilization. But behind stained glass and sanctified rifles lie secrets older—and far darker—than the flame itself. The old gods never died. They only slept beneath the ash. As Lucien dives deeper into the city's underbelly of arcane engineers, masked inquisitors, and occult scholars, he finds himself drawn into a war of ideologies and monsters—where memory is a weapon, faith is currency, and gunpowder burns cleaner than truth. In a city where steam runs red and knowledge is blasphemy, his choices may ignite the world once more... or bury it forever.

She took that secret with her to her death, and no one knows what it is, at least for now, until a detective investigates the unfortunate incident and discovers something that no one expected and never thought possible.   Warning: Please read Murder In High School before reading this book, because this book is a sequel to that book.
