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 grisly crimes, but a new wave of Shimmer-related "suicides" pushes her beyond the limits of logic and endurance. Beneath her sharp intellect lies an unspoken reliance on stimulants, a crutch she refuses to name.
Her investigation leads her deep into the shadowed depths of Zaun, where she encounters Vi—a pit fighter, bouncer, and ex-con weighed down by guilt and a near-fatalistic streak of self-destruction. Distrust ignites between them, but so does something deeper, an inexplicable pull between two women shaped by worlds intent on breaking them.
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.
