Garrett, P.I. · #14
Garrett is a human detective in the fantastical city of TunFaire. And now he’s getting tangled up in the worst sort of laws...
In-laws.
Garrett is set to stow his wandering heart with his fiancée, Strafa
Algarda. But for Garrett, even true love comes with its share of
headaches — namely, the Algarda family.
Strafa’s family needs
Garrett’s unique skills in the worst way. Rumors are spreading that
someone is organizing a Tournament of Swords — a brutal contest that
magically compels the children of sorcerers to battle until only one is
left alive. The winner will absorb the power from those he has killed
and thus become a demigod.
Strafa and her family want to
protect her daughter, Kevans, from being forced to take part in the
lethal contest... and they’ve asked Garrett to find out who is organizing the tournament and nip it in the bud. The only problem is that finding
the culprit is most likely impossible. But the Algardas are used to
getting what they want...
