Infernal Investigations

Malvia, a former Infernal of the Black Flame gang, has spent years hiding as Katheryn Falara—a discreet alchemist catering to the Anglean Empire’s elite. Between brewing potions and tinkering with steampunk contraptions, she’s carved out a comfortable life, far from her criminal past. But when noble heirs start dropping dead from poison, her expertise lands her in the crosshairs of a conspiracy. Old enemies resurface, and the methods of the murders bear an unsettling resemblance to her former gang’s work. Forced to investigate, Malvia navigates a treacherous world of biosculpting assassins, infernal politics, and aristocratic backstabbing. Every clue pulls her deeper into a web of intrigue—one that threatens to unravel her carefully constructed identity. She must uncover the truth before the empire decides she’s the culprit.
