A world of magic and steampunk. A world where steam engines and muskets sit side by side with fireballs and spells. And this world is ruled by a triad: the powerful Coven magicians, the Union of Masters, and an emperor who has become the arbitrator between these forces.
But in such a boiling cauldron there’s no room for peace or harmony, and no one is surprised when one of the Coven magisters is found dead—with a hole in his chest, the kind characteristic both of magicians’ spells and of the Masters’ artifact weaponry.
Who committed this terrible atrocity, and won’t it lead to civil war and a new reshuffling of power?
