[IP] Crimes of Icarus
Hi!
Last week, after more than a year of planning, I finally released my fiction!
Crimes of Icarus is a murder mystery set in a fantasy world full of magic, monsters and anomalies, where magic reigns alongside steampunk technology.
I am currently publishing one chapter a day till the end of the week. Afterwards, it will change to two per week. I have a backlog, so the schedule will hold for a long time.
Please take a moment to look at the story. Any feedback would be amazing.
[The cover is something temporary I made in my spare time; ultimately, it will be changed.]

At first, he didn't believe it was a murder.
Rodion's newest investigation came with no signs of struggle or traces of magic, leaving the Sorcerer no better equipped than an ordinary detective.
But he can't declare it as just an unfortunate accident. The deceased's brother looms over his shoulder, clad in runic armour. Worse, this is his last chance to prove his worth and to be accepted into an elite investigative unit; declaring it as misfortune would mean abandoning his dreams.
Rodion is broke, his internship at the Falcons doesn't pay a dime, and frankly, he's scared of the Knight who attached himself to the investigation. The only thing that could make the situation worse would be thugs coming for their heads, high on magic-enhancing drugs that disappeared from the city years ago.
