The Inheritance of an Imaginary Man adventure cover

A welcome from Master Quill

“A generous man has died, leaving a school, a bathhouse, and homes full of grateful neighbors. A splendid legacy—except that no one can agree who he was. Do mind the difference between a false name and a false heart.”

Find the heirs of a beloved benefactor whose identity refuses to hold together. Follow conflicting testimony, examine the estate’s records, and protect the people caught between convincing claims and inconvenient truths.
