A delightful alternate world fantasy following a psychiatrist who works with fellow veterans dealing with the traumas of war. He and a mysterious stranger fall into a mystery when a man dies in his arms claiming he was murdered, and solving it may expose him to the family and secret society he’s in hiding from. This has a charming gay romantic subplot, and the ending has huge consequences for the this world that I’m looking forward to seeing explored in the sequels.
