Far south of the White Haven district, positioned extremely close to the massive third ring wall that separated the outer districts from the inner city, stood a wide and breathtakingly beautiful mansion that seemed completely out of place in this somewhat run-down area.
The mansion was architecturally magnificent, built in a style that mixed traditional eastern aesthetics with modern luxury. White marble columns supported elaborate balconies. Carefully manicured gardens surrounded the property with exotic plants that must have cost a fortune to maintain. Golden accents decorated the walls and roof, catching sunlight and making the entire structure seem to glow.
But the beauty was deceptive. This was no innocent wealthy residence.
