Story Notes

A gritty, slow-burn crime noir set against the cold, rain-slicked backdrop of historic Edinburgh. This is a story about the unseen lines connecting the law to the dark underbelly of the streets—and the nameless figure who walks between both.


Except sharp, analytical dialogue, hidden histories, and a world where every companion has a motive and every truth is buried in the shadows. Look closely at the details, because in this game, the answers are never where you except them to be. Trust no one."

Summary

A rain-soaked night in Edinburgh. A frantic, late-night knock at the door of 14A Ravenstone Lane. A terrified visitor arrives out of the dark, bringing word of a series of truly horrifying events. Step onto a world where every shadow holds a secret, every clue is a puzzle, and the man pulling the strings is always watching from the fog. The game has already begun. Welcome to Book One of The Ciphered Sins.

prologue

To those who enter these pages:

Before you turn the page, understand this: the police do not run these rain-slicked streets. And the monsters don't either.

There is a shadow that walks between both worlds. A man without a badge, but possessing instincts sharper than any blade. The precinct calls him an advisor. The underworld calls him a threat. He does not play by the rules of the law, nor does he care for justice. He only cares for the hunt.

If you choose to follow these footsteps down Raven Stone Lane, do not look for a hero. There are none here. There is only a low, gravelly voice in the dark, the sudden metallic click of a drawn revolver, and a mind that sees everything you are trying to hide.

Consider yourself warned. Keep your eyes on his companions, question every motive, and watch your own step. The game has already begun, and you are stepping right into his fog.
