Synopsis
The Lilac is a fourteen-year-old bounty hunter in training who wants to make a name for herself. With her best friend Dulcinetta, a bard, she takes a job from a butler to track a wizard suspected of stealing the Baron of Angbar's ancestral treasure. The hunt is really a setup that gets the two girls invited to dinner at the baron's castle. During the meal a guest is found dead, and a magic bubble seals everyone inside with the killer. As the walls begin to close in, the Lilac must work out who among the suspects is responsible, while every guest, and even her friend, seems to be hiding something.
