✦ Synopsis

A peddler of rumors. A ruler's untimely death. Whoever controls the secrets, controls the realm...

Oedija, Pearl of the Four Realms, is a city on the brink.

Its wardens, those who can bend energy to their will, have been suppressed, killed, or driven into hiding.

Its government is rife with corruption, and power has become concentrated in the hands of the ruthless.

And the worst drought in a century scorches its fields and starves its people.

So when Oedija's symbolic ruler dies under suspicious circumstances, it is the spark to set the city on fire.

Hoping to make their fame and fortune, Airene the Finch and her unorthodox companions rush to solve the mystery of their ruler's death. Sellers of rumor and scandal, they're just scraping by, and need a big payout if they're going to survive.

But the Despot's death is only the beginning. Legends stir and rise from the past. The yokes of society begin to fray and are cast off.
