  "Not the first war that started with a murder world war one for example," said Blake sadly. 
  "Now we are being hunted and cancelled by the greys," said Lance, 
  "It started peacefully but the politics and darker elements got into it," said Blake sadly. 
  "Most of them are passionate about their causes whatever they are," Lance said. 
  "I wonder if the killer was caught would their thirst for vengeance be quenched?" Blake asked hopefully. 
  "No, they want more than vengeance for one life! They want more than that now. It is beyond that they want nothing more than the fall of the empire and the Magicians," said Lance. 
  "But Lance! We have to stop them! They are trying to pull down a statue of your granddad!" Said a magician a dimension away to Lance's teenage son Lance Junior. They were watching an angry mob of grey aliens and human sympathizers. Who were trying to rip down a statue of the local hero Blue Midnight, the Emperor of the local solar system in a park. 
  Blue Midnight being of course Blake. 
  "Let them, Gabriel, to fight them would cause them to be angrier and they will turn on us! It is only a statue It is only a symbol! It is not the man," said Lance Junior in the magician's head as he dragged the mad magician away from the place.

  Berlin, 1930. 
  Historian Archie Laverick, scarred mentally and physically by the Great War, travels to Berlin to research a famed Prussian general. His quiet study is shattered when he crosses paths with Esme Carmichael, a spirited young American intent on making her name as a foreign correspondent. When a shooting at a Saxon castle leaves a young Jewish woman accused of murder, Archie and Esme are drawn into a perilous hunt for the truth. 
  Their investigation cuts through the glittering façades and lingering scars of a nation still reeling from war – where resentment simmers, political alliances shift, and the first shadows of a new conflict fall across Europe. Amid whispers of blackmail and betrayal, the pair must navigate intrigue and danger to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight.
