Summary
Winter has come early to Korslakov, City of Spires, and
Lukan Gardova has arrived with it. Most visitors to this
famous city of artifice seek technological marvels, or
alchemical ingenuity. Lukan only desires the unknown legacy
his father has left for him, in the vaults of the Blackfire
Bank.
But when Lukan's key to the vault is stolen by a
mysterious thief known as the Rook, he and his friends race
to win it back—and find themselves trapped in a web of
murder and deceit. In desperation, Lukan requests the help of
Lady Marni Volkova, scion of Korslakov's most powerful
family.
Yet Lady Marni has secrets of her own. Worse, she has
plans for Lukan and his friends. Plans that involve a journey
into Korslakov's dark past, in search of a long-lost
alchemical formula that could lead to the city's greatest
discovery . . ....
