HE SAVED THE KINGDOM ONCE. MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T HAVE. Disgraced Grand Inquisitor Wynsten is hired to find a missing ambassador. Instead, he uncovers forbidden magic and a conspiracy rooted in the blood ritual that made him a legend and ruined his life. #QuestPit #Q #A #DF #MY

INQUISITOR FOR HIRE

ADULT DARK FANTASY NOIR · 93,000 WORDS · MULTI-POV · STANDALONE

Once Rysia’s feared Grand Inquisitor, Wynsten now catches adulterers to make rent. When he is hired to find a missing ambassador before an uneasy peace collapses, the case leads him through forbidden magic, vanished daughters, and a conspiracy tied to the royal blood ritual that made him a legend, ruined his life, and fused the empire’s worst secrets to his chest.

A MISSING AMBASSADOR.
A DISGRACED LEGEND.
A KINGDOM ROTTING FROM WITHIN.

OPENING LINES

“The heretics had nowhere left to run. Wynsten had made sure of that.

Months of blood and smoke had led him beneath the Sovereign’s castle, into the old mines carved through the bedrock. A stronghold under the heart of the kingdom.

These apostates would face justice here or burn.”

Twenty years before he became an investigator for hire, Wynsten stopped a ritual fueled by Rysia’s own royal blood.

A FANTASY INVESTIGATION WITH TEETH

THREE TOUCHSTONES. ONE DECAYING EMPIRE.

The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan - Institutional rot and compromised justice

The Tainted Cup - a secondary-world mystery engine

Wandered around @princeton.edu today and took in the Nursery of the Rebellion exhibit. Some of the letters were amazing, well worth popping in!

He killed a prince to save the kingdom. Now a fallen inquisitor, he’s been hired to find a missing ambassador, and the deeper he digs, the more it looks like saving the kingdom was a mistake. INQUISITOR FOR HIRE - multi-POV, 89k words #QuestPit #A #F #DF #Q

Inquisitor for Hire Comps. For fans of The Tainted Cup’s genre-bending fantasy mystery, and the political darkness of Grave Empire, with the strange, decaying world of Mordew.

Tropes for Inquisitor for Hire: He saved the kingdom. He might have been wrong.

Fallen hero / disgraced legend
Chasing a vanishing truth
A secret the city was built to hide
Justice isn’t clean
Reluctant family forged under pressure
A power that takes more than it gives
Corruption at the highest level

I do most of my editing in Autocrit (@autocrit.bsky.social) and decided to run my summary score out of curiosity to see whether all my changes affected it. It actually went up! Bestseller, here I come, lol. @ThreeDragonsP #amediting #amrevising #WritingLife #writingcommunity #author

Playing Monopoly Jr with the girls and the price of rent for a property is the same as the cost of the property. They should rename this Late Stage Capitalism because it’s preparing them for reality
