A Dirge For Cascius: Part I

Madness seeps into the Galaxy.

Born in the black flames of planetary genocide, Cascius Carcyde rose from the ashes into a renowned investigator, unravelling mysteries thought impossible. All the while in secret he hunted the rogue terrorist who murdered his homeworld.

In the end he got his vengeance, yet at a terrible cost. Retribution left him broken. Hollow.

For half a century, he mired himself in betrayals, failures, and fighting wars for shadowed covenants. Lost, he eventually drifted home to the Velutra and into the mundane life of solving crimes. In his bitter solitude, his crippling addiction to sorrow resurfaced and has carried him to the very brink of death.

But when the Sages demand he take a new partner—a young illuavan named Kirella—Cascius must forfeit his destructive ways to catch the elusive Red Hand killer. As the ocean of dissolved victims swells, the pair uncover a larger machination at play.

One they must stop before the entire galaxy falls into oblivion.
