«When the Dark Gods Joke» is a fantastic novella by Alexandra Lisina, the first book of the Arthur Raysh series, a detective fantasy genre.
A series of unexplained deaths rocked Verl, bewildering the detectives from the City Office. It would seem, what connection could there be between a deceased priest, an elderly housekeeper and a girl who loves apples? But gods have nasty jokes, especially if those gods are dark. And the curse that struck the city is not the worst thing that could happen.
However, the curse is not a job for detectives, but for an experienced master of Death. And the city is very lucky that it still has one.
First story. When the dark gods are joking
The second story. Whispers of the dark side
