And with the mayor’s son starting to be turned away from parlour doors, even the queen has taken time from her daughter’s baptism to attend to the matter; a baptism through which the future of this very kingdom will be told in smoke and water.

Grayhaven runs on smoke and sea-coal, on work songs hummed by the folk no one sees. Jed—kobold, runner, tool-hand—knows every crack in the city’s stone.
