Chalice was once the center of a trade empire, but now it is crumbling. Three stories unfurl in the shadows of the cobbled streets. Spies, problem solvers, thieves, and occultists get tangled in various deadly mysteries.
Red-headed twins help a student trapped in a duel with larger political implications. A spy returns from exile, racing his murderous shadow to find a lost woman. An occult scholar was nearly destroyed by reading a book, so he hid it--but a powerful noble found it, and threatens to end the world unless one broken man can stop him.
