As the City of Towers suffers through the muggy summer heat, people in the
streets are growing restless, listening to cries for change. For revolution. As
Sharn trembles on the brink of an explosion, a series of senseless slaughters
spreads throughout the city.
And Ulther Whitsun is just trying to do his job of fixing problems.
But when he finds himself teamed up with a chronicler, events thrust him into the
center of the city's agony. And he finds that treachery can touch everything
around him.
