The Two Sides of the Light

A powerful commander vanishes after what should have been a flawless operation. The Empire declares a victory - his daughter knows better.

Euphemia von Schild was bound for a cloistered life of prayer and service. But when the news of her father's disappearance reaches her, she puts her vows aside and sets out into the steam-rails and waterways of Kriemreich. She is armed with untested powers - and a determination to seek the truth.

She won't walk alone. Along the way, she finds a boy who doesn't recall who or what he is, and a scion of a fallen house who turns to wandering, looking for virtue in revenge.

But the Empire is far from turning a blind eye. From their ranks, an investigator rises to the challenge of threading clues that lead to the underground.

At its heart lies the Gray Fox - a crime lord wielding a fusion of magic and technology. From the shadows, he orchestrates a plan with destructive consequences across the Empire and beyond.

When faith, ambition, and vengeance collide, can a runaway novice and her unlikely allies unravel the Gray Fox's schemes before everything falls into ruin?
