The Killings at Rockman’s Ford

The Killings at Rockman’s Ford: A Seven Signs Novella

Rockman’s Ford is a quiet hamlet where nothing ever happens—until a man is found murdered in his own home, his body pierced and torn apart by wild sorcery. In a place where superstition rules, the villagers whisper of curses and demand blood. But the truth is far deadlier.

D’Jenn Pike, a Warlock of the Conclave, arrives with Merrick, a veteran Lesmiran Scout, to uncover the source of the violence. Their hunt for a fugitive sorcerer plunges them into a world of fear, lies, and hostile magic. Each clue reveals more than a simple killing: a pattern of rage and power that could ignite chaos far beyond the village.

As paranoia grips the townsfolk and old hatreds surface, D’Jenn must battle suspicion, unravel conspiracy, and face a foe whose instincts turn the world itself into a weapon. The guilty will pay—but whether justice or vengeance triumphs is far from certain.

A dark fantasy murder mystery steeped in intrigue, The Killings at Rockman’s Ford is the gateway into the brutal, conspiratorial world of The Seven Signs. It’s a story of fear and sorcery, of secrets festering in the shadows, and of a man who will be tested to his limits before the true war begins.
