The Eyes Have It

In an imagined world where alchemy and enchantments supplanted the scientific breakthroughs we know, the stately Castle D’Evreux becomes the stage for a sudden, unsettling mystery. Sir Pierre Morlaix, a seasoned courtier, discovers his lord—always punctual, ever dignified—dead on a sun‑lit balcony, a bullet wound staining the Count’s regal attire. The scene is framed by strict ritual, ringing Angelus bells, and a rigid hierarchy that now trembles beneath an unspoken threat.

As the other guests stir, each bound by their roles and the looming Mass, the story follows Pierre’s quiet determination to uncover who could have dared such a breach within these fortified walls. Beneath the polished stone and gilded heraldry, whispers of forbidden magic and hidden ambitions begin to surface, promising a tangled web of politics, loyalty, and the uncanny. Listeners will be drawn into a suspenseful first act where honor meets intrigue, and every polished surface may conceal a darker purpose.
