Summary
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
But in Piltover and Zaun, the roles are cruelly cast.
Detective Caitlyn Kiramman is no stranger to solving crime, but a new wave of Shimmer-related "suicides" pushes her beyond the limits of logic and endurance. Beneath her sharp intellect lies a reliance on stimulants — a crutch she refuses to name.
Her investigation leads her deep into the shadowed depths of Zaun, where she encounters Vi: pit fighter, bouncer, and ex-con weighed down by guilt and a streak of self-destruction.
As their cities spiral while the body count rises, Caitlyn and Vi untangle years of shared pain and vices long hidden.
"Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Blood and revenge are hammering in my head."

"What does a violet smell like? ... Normand Cardella, a perfume expert, describes the fragrance as 'powdery, a little sweet and decidedly sad. Musically, a violet note would be a minor chord.'" - Doleschal, M. Shakespeare’s Favourite Flowers: The Violet.

Summary
He’s clever, they always said, which really meant don’t trust him. But when Claude pieced apart his walls to let someone inside they were always surprised to find that he wasn’t the snake they’d been expecting. He was ambitious, of course, but ambition in the hands of good men is a blessing, not a curse. And when he described the tenets of his vision for the future it was easy to believe that clever was simply a synonym for kind.
He’ll betray you, they said, already sitting in his palms, but when he drew his hands into fists to crush them they still bothered to cry out, why?

#22: moment
“Probably not the most practical choice there,” he notes dryly as she frantically waves her hand. “Playing with magic at the onset of a storm.”
“Aha!” She points a finger at him. “So you do remember what I taught you.”
“Figure it’s more along the lines of common sense.”
“You’d be surprised. Us black mages have very little of it.”
