The City of Ghosts and Shadows - Season of the Long Shadows

Jasper Moorelock was born in the City of the Silent Rain and is now an assassin in the City of Ghosts and Shadows. The City of Ghosts and Shadows is a fascinating place and there is some speculation that the inhabitants of the city may be ghosts themselves. Everyone in the city wears a mask and many of the people in the city have more than one mask and more than one persona.

The Elder Gentleman of the City of the Silent Rain commissions Jasper Moorelock to assassinate Count Germaine Le’ Misère Rouge of the City of Ghosts and Shadows. The Count is well protected and has an estate outside the City of Ghosts and Shadows. The only way Jasper can enter the Count’s Gray Divide Estate is to bribe his way onto a ferry carrying servants to a party at the estate. However, his task will not be easy. Only Lords and Ladies will be present at the Count’s ballroom so Jasper must first take the place of a minor Lord. Moving around the Count’s estate as a servant is easy but by the time Jasper has become a minor Lord there is already a trail of death behind him and he still has to find the Count. Before the night is over the Count’s Estate will be on fire and half the guests will have perished as Jasper searches for his target.
