Baa Baa Black Market

Baa Baa Black Market... Have you any soul?

Brietta Drover has spent her entire life in the darkness due to her sensitivity to the sun and general lack of morals. To occupy her many days alone in her windowless room, she takes up a small hobby-running an underground crime network for harvesting and trading illegal magic stones.

Business is booming in the underground market until word spreads that Brietta's fiercest competitor has sent a spy to unmask her true identity. Most ladies would consider this a threat, but a good businesswoman sees it as a way to investigate her rival.

Dimitri has one mission. Get the true name of Lord Dame, and get back to his own jewel lord, Boy. He and Brietta share zero trust, but when they're forced to share an assignment, the true investigations can begin. Three bags of magic stones have been stolen from the jewel lords, but the culprit is as mysterious as the market itself. If one was stolen from each lord, who is really to blame?

Will Brietta be able to expand her reach? Or will Munster and Dame fall to Lord Boy's games?
