Seven years have passed since the events that led to the death of High Bloodhound Damon Wayke at the hands of his pupil. As the city of Avoste falls into political turmoil, politician Madeline Weir plots to move things her own way at the expense of the already fragile democracy.

​

In Longurast, as the new Emperor plans to expand his territory up north, Bloodhound Litland Faust hunts down a dangerous mage called the Marauder. This mysterious figure is on a quest to uncover remnants of magic sites left behind by the Summoners.

​

L'Étincelle Sombre is set in a highly political world where empires are on the brink of technological breakthroughs, and where magic is treated as a social compound more than an action device. And even if the story evolves in a somewhat dark setting, humor takes an ample space in the overall tone.
