SCAPEWHEEL

Dear Reader,
If you should ever come cross the inner workings of an exhausted timepiece, I challenge your untrained eye to spot what could arguably be one of the most imperative tools of its entirety-the scapewheel. Weak, toothy and spiny it may look, but it is the heart of this well-to-do mechanism, for it transfers energy and sets the pace.

But who sets the pace of the notorious Grandgervield Enterprise? Surely, there are those like our overworked engineers Addison, Claudia and Lewis, who have their reasons for wanting to see it burn to the ground. Not to mention the Earl of Cornluck who will stop at nothing indecent to seize the enterprise from its oblivious heirs.

But let us take note that there other self-centered and dirty minds at work--all drivers of gossip, secrets, cheating and murder for a mechanism far much larger than they realize. And someone amongst them is setting the pace. Someone is working all those around them like clueless cogwheels in a machine. And this unidentified mastermind...

...the scapewheel that is....

...is the one to beat at its own pace.
