Synopsis
The Lion's Tusk is a short story set in Robert Jackson Bennett's Shadow of the Leviathan world, published by Amazon Original Stories in 2026. On a long carriage journey, investigator Ana Dolabra recounts to her assistant Din a centuries-old, unsolved murder: a lavish noble wedding that ended when the newlyweds were found dead in their marriage bed.
Where it sits
- Universe: Shadow of the Leviathan
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: Robert Jackson Bennett
Notes
- An Amazon Original Stories 'Magic & Mystery' anthology entry (#3), published July 28, 2026, featuring Ana Dolabra and Din investigating a 182-years-cold murder case during a carriage journey -- not a numbered Shadow of the Leviathan volume. Registered Expanded Canon. Resolves a previously flagged standing lead that had been waiting on the Magic & Mystery anthology's contents/publication to be confirmed; now published and confirmed.
