The Mystical Murders of Yin Mara, by author Marshall Ryan Maresca, takes place right after the
events of the Imposters of Aventil which is Maradaine # 3 if you are keeping track. This story takes place outside of
the world of Maradaine and apparently is the beginning of something new
by called Maradaine Saga.
Phadre Golmin and Jiarna Kay are the main characters for this story. Phadre is a mage, while Jiarna is a scientist.They have left Maradaine University behind to explore Trenn College in Yin Mara where they will become part of the faculty. The couple is excited for the opportunity to study magical and mystical
theory with the famed Professor Salarmin.
But before they can arrive, they stumble across a dead body that has been deconstructed after hearing a woman scream. Upon arrival in Yin Mara, the bodies continue to pile up. Phadre and Jiarna tasted adventure in Maradaine, so the discovery of
similar victims, paired with their scientific curiosity, makes the
situation far too intriguing to ignore.
Knowing that they alone have the
knowledge to unravel the mystery, Phadre and Jiarna are determined to
resolve it, no matter the cost to their academic careers. While the local authorities focus on Phadre as the
person responsible, it will be up to Jiarna to save her partner, and to
solve the mysteries of the murders and who is really responsible before they lose everything they've been working for.
Besides Phadre and Jiarna, the author introduces an entirely new cast of characters who all stay at the Inchellian House under Professor Salarmin and are working on various individual projects while also teaching other mages practical magic. There is little world building in this story as you would expect from a new beginning.
I do know that at the end of this story, the author claims the next adventure is to be called The Quarrygate Gambit. I am looking forward to reading it.
