Under The Wrong Spell

The law cannot prosecute nobility. That is the reason the Stilwon family exists. When nobles commit crimes, the courts look the other way. Lord Albert does not. His family has spent generations handling what the legal system cannot — tracking conspiracies, dismantling smuggling rings, and extracting answers from people who thought their title made them untouchable. It is quiet, controlled work. Albert is good at it. Then a routine case pulls him through a door he did not know existed, into a world of magic, monsters, and dungeons that has operated alongside his own since before his city was built. A world where only women can wield power. A world where Albert, by every known rule, should not be able to exist. He can. And the people who rule this world are very interested in finding out why.
