Mika Abner
The Haunted Protector
“Hang on there. I am here to save you.”
The finest detective in the free south of Frysia, Mika Abner has spent fifteen years believing that to do the right thing is always enough. That belief was born on the day he left his young sister alone for a few minutes to report a stranger, and returned to find her gone. Now a governor's daughter has been taken, a suspect has given him an address, and Mika, who has never once chosen to wait, is about to learn what his good intentions cost.

The Chronicle
The Playground
When Mika was a boy he took his little sister Fenna to a playground in Vryehelm. He saw a man there he did not trust and ran to tell a guard, as he had been taught. The man was harmless. When Mika came back his sister was gone, and no search ever found her.
The Detective
He joined the police to find her and became the best they had. Mika speaks in procedure and lives inside his cases, and those who work beside him take it for discipline. Only the name of his sister breaks through it. He does not wait for backup, for orders or for a better hour, and he has never asked himself why.
The Loops
The case of the governor's daughter led him to a quiet man with a green ring. Since that man laid a hand on him, Mika has lived the same afternoon again and again, each time through different eyes, each time to the same end. Somewhere within those loops lies a truth about the last fifteen years, and it is not the one he has told himself.
Frysia's occupation taught him that doing right is not always enough. The murders in Vryehelm are teaching him something worse.
