An aristocratic woman of Nigerian-English descent, Daraja Valentine came to New Jerusalem several months ago to take up a role as the Mayor’s spokesperson and Press Secretary.

Why does a wealthy woman bother with a job like that? Where does Valentine keep her library of old newspaper reports that hint at the supernatural? Why does she buy and trade in possibly magical artefacts – and how long will she bear a grudge against the Shadows for getting involved in her business? And what is her connection to the Rosicrucian Order?

Many questions. Not enough answers.
