Preface

A young noble's son decides to start a club about riddles. The strangest part is that he hasn't just invited his friends, but has deemed it a "public" club and invites Tali, a peasant girl, along with others from her class. Tali believes the club may be devised to pull tricks on the low-born, leading her to resist the whole affair and the club host's earnest attempts at dragging her back. What ensues is a series of shenanigans leading to one, final question: What are Ysmael Cykoven's real intentions?
