Sleep Without Dreams
Half-trolls were never meant to become homicide detectives, and in Jade’s defense, she had always tried to stay away from murder. But when the Bureau gives you a case full of corrupt elves, rival trolls and weird rituals, you either do your best detective work or hand in your resignation. A weekly fantasy-noir podcast following the eldritch adventures of Detective Jade Hawkins. Written and narrated by Claire Wake.

Hemley drags Jade to a hip bar with him, to talk to a charming witness, and she still manages to act like she'd rather be the victim of a satanic ritual. If they get a lead out of this, it had better not involve trolls.

Hemley pulls through on a late night visit to the Hall of Khatta Re, even though he really didn't want to, and if she's completely honest with herself, Jade didn't want him to either.

Jade and Hemley go on an outing to the Church of Kothazrul, where the incense is not just incense and the vegetable garden is looking way too abundant. It's a nice bonding moment for them.
