Murder in Galnik

By Robert Bateman

In the quiet mountain town of Galnik, where friendly faces outnumber secrets-barely-a young woman named Celeste is found dead near the clay pits. The mayor calls in help, and soon three outsiders arrive to investigate:

Jovia, a dark-skinned human with sharp eyes and sharper instincts, whose cloak hides more than just her blades.

Bixi, a gnome bard with pink-and-blue hair, a knack for cheerful songs, and a habit of asking the right questions with a smile.

Dwir, a gruff, broad-shouldered dwarf who would rather solve a mystery with his warhammer-and a plate of mutton.

What begins as a straightforward investigation quickly turns into something stranger. The townsfolk are helpful but wary. A key leads to an abandoned mill. A patch of unfamiliar fur sparks more questions than answers. And Celeste's quiet kindness may have unearthed something ancient and dangerous beneath Galnik's surface.

Murder in Galnik is a cozy epic fantasy mystery filled with dry humor, heartfelt moments, and slow-burning intrigue. If you enjoy the camaraderie of a good adventuring party, magic with meaning, and mysteries that unfold at just the right pace, welcome to Galnik.
