Summary:
In the dead of night, a burglary takes place at Halls of Lore in Winterhold, and a
small porcelain figurine is stolen.

Sergeant Aramina Thornberry searches for a group of private detectives who can help
her solve the crime, since the town’s guard is busy with a series of recent kidnappings.

cursed statuette, a dangerous primordial demon, and a shadowy web of plots.
