An Imp and an Impostor Free Download

You’ve spent years undercover as a human, infiltrating the magical law-enforcement organization Arkan in the city of Raqout, a bustling port between worlds where secrets abound. Once an imp from another plane, your magic was stripped away by a powerful entity known as “the Mercy” as punishment for past misdeeds, forcing you to live among humans. Despite this, you’ve regained enough magic to surpass ordinary humans and, armed with talsama—the magic accessible to all humans—along with your sharp wits, gadgets, and insider knowledge, you’ve risen through Arkan’s ranks. Your by-the-book partner remains unaware of your true nature or your deeper motive: to reclaim the magic stolen from you. Now, after years of preparation, you’re ready to break into Arkan’s vault to recover what’s rightfully yours, but the vault holds only part of your magic, and more mysteries unfold as others with stolen magic vanish without a trace. Delve into a richly woven historical urban fantasy filled with intrigue, betrayal, and hidden agendas as you navigate Raqout’s dark alleys and political corridors. Engage in daring heists, crack open magical vaults with spells or technology, and pursue your enemies through the city’s streets in newfangled automobiles. Negotiate with necromancers, afareet, djinn, mobsters, and bureaucrats, uncovering secrets that many want to keep buried—all while evading the watchful eye of the Mercy. Your choices shape the story in this expansive, 600,000-word interactive novel by Athar Fikry, where you can explore diverse identities and relationships, from romance to friendship, and decide whether to keep your true self hidden or reveal it. Reclaim your impish form, wield your stolen magic, and decide where your loyalties lie in a city where nothing is as it seems and impostors lurk in every shadow.
