Lira Dewstrider

About

A fae detective exiled from his homeland, Lira Dewstrider navigates the human world with a keen eye for the supernatural and a heart heavy with longing. He's a master of bargains and a slave to the truth, no matter how twisted.

Backstory

The magical contract burned into his palm was both curse and salvation—proof of the unforgivable bargain he'd struck to save his younger sister from a fate worse than death. Exiled not for political missteps, but for a forbidden blood magic ritual that transformed him from a traditional court investigator into something darker and more pragmatic, Lira became a wandering detective who could smell deception like rot. His intricate silver-etched flute, gifted by his dying mother, contained fragments of a spell that allowed him to hear the whispers of secrets most beings desperately wanted to keep hidden. Now, each case he solves in the human world is another step toward redemption, another chance to balance the cosmic debt he owes for his sister's freedom—and his own survival.
