The Rot at Brambleknot

About this book

In the idyllic, petrified roots of a colossal World Tree lies Brambleknot, a quaint village renowned for its magical baked goods and serene community. But beneath the cozy veneer lies a dark, twenty-year-old secret. When a gruesomely mutilated body is discovered in the local bakery's flour bin, a fractured ensemble of former friends—a scarred baker battling alcoholism, a one-eyed apothecary running an illicit magical drug ring, and a paranoid archivist—must reunite. Navigating two interwoven timelines, they are forced to confront the tragic night of their youth when their friend Marlon vanished. As an outsider inspector threatens to uncover both the present murders and their past sins, the group must untangle a conspiracy of silence, navigating complex moral gray areas to save their home. Their journey tests the true limits of justice, friendship, and the heavy price of community harmony.
