No One Leaves the Castle

Agatha Christie meets the Brothers Grimm in an unexpected, hilarious, and wholly original new fantasy-mystery from the beloved author of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom. The Lilac, rumored to be the world's most fearsome bounty hunter, is actually just a young girl named Netta. Together with her best friend, the bard Dulcinetta, Netta sets out to prove herself by solving a mystery involving a stolen artifact from monster hunter Baron Angbar's home. Their investigation takes them to a dinner party at Castle Angbar, where they encounter a group of shady nobles, mages, and creatures. When a dead body is discovered and the castle is magically sealed, trapping everyone inside, Netta realizes she must identify the murderer among them to protect her reputation and survive her first job as a bounty hunter.
