Artemis is England’s most respected magistrate—but behind the robes lies a dangerous obsession. Haunted by the outlaw Black Jack, who murdered his parents, Artemis has spent years bending the law to hunt him down. Just as he seeks peace in retirement, a dying prisoner shatters his calm with a letter that could change everything. The prisoner, Elixir—a former spy entangled in Artemis’s past—claims to hold the key to Black Jack’s downfall. But he asks for one thing in return: Artemis’s wand. Now Artemis must decide—trust a confessed traitor, or risk losing the only chance to uncover the truth about his parents’ murder. Is Elixir’s secret the path to justice… or a trap that will destroy him? A tale of vengeance, betrayal, and forbidden power—where every choice could cost Artemis his soul.
