When Detective Alina Moretti is called to investigate the murder of a financial executive found dead on a Manhattan rooftop with no visible cause of death, the case should be straightforward. It isn't.
A coin at the crime scene brands her wrist with a glowing geometric sigil - the mark of the Bridge, a constitutional mechanism of the Night Court, a hidden governance system that has been managing the city's supernatural population for four centuries. The Court's factions - vampires, fae, and sorcerers - are locked in a power struggle over ley-line energy that sustains their civilization, and someone has been manipulating the system from within.
Now Alina must navigate a world she didn't know existed, build a case against the most powerful figures in the room, and hold two systems accountable - the mortal police department that trained her and the supernatural court that chose her. The evidence trail leads through forged contracts, sabotaged infrastructure, a cross-faction killing weapon, and an installation built in the geological darkness beneath the city. The money points upward. The conduit points downward. And the truth is somewhere in between.
The Midnight Sigil is the first book in The Night Court Files - a series where the magic has infrastructure, the politics have consequences, and the detective follows the evidence wherever it leads.
