Book 1: Valore Mysteries
An Adventures on Oram children’s saga within the Airdaeya universe
(In the works)
Get ready to plunge into the shadowy world of Riversmeet where two extraordinary 11-year-old orphans, Qrow and Talim, are about to embark on their very first mystery.
Qrow, recently abandoned and armed with a secret magical gift for disguise and influence, just wants to survive. Talim, a sharp-witted math and machinery whiz who knows the city’s tough streets, just wants to stay hidden. Their paths collide when a cruel lawyer pushes Talim too far, sparking a shared desire for payback.
Their newfound alliance quickly leads them to a forgotten storage room and basement – a perfect, hidden hideout near Riversmeet’s bustling docks. But their secret sanctuary holds a secret of its own: a ghost. Not just any ghost, but Kqroegen Browning, a murdered wealthy businessman from the distant city of Craguesport.
Why is his specter haunting their Riversmeet hideout, miles from where he died? And why can only Talim see him? Browning demands their help, promising answers if they can unravel the mystery of his murder. With “follow the money” as their only lead, Qrow and Talim begin to investigate Browning’s last known business dealings, discovering that several of his suspicious partners were at a manager’s summit in Craguesport when he died.
To untangle the web of greed and betrayal, Qrow and Talim realize they can’t do it alone. They start a street gang of Riversmeet’s forgotten children, pooling their unique talents to gather information and uncover the truth.
Can two young orphans, with a ghost as their guide and a ragtag crew as their eyes and ears, unmask a killer and bring justice to the spectral presence in their hideout? Find out in The Ghostly in the Hideout, the thrilling first installment of the Valore Mysteries!
