salt, smoke, and sorrow

Evie doesn't have a last name, nor does she have a family. Escaping Dylath to the shores of Meridia, she finds herself still imprisoned by questions about her past as well as her telepathic abilities. Enter Marlowe, the cunning and irritable stranger who claims to have her answers in exchange for her help. Bluecoat John Hagan is in charge of protecting the people of Meridia. When he discovers the body that puts him in charge of finding The Meridian Menace, he happens across the aging detective, Sherlock Holmes, who is already on the case. Together they embark on a disjointed journey of solving the murders. John and Evie collide amidst their search for answers; one piecing together a mystery within the city, and the other piecing together a mystery within herself; neither realizing that what John uncovers as truth is exactly what Evie is protecting to uncover her own.
