Maynard Trigg and The Vanishing Empire

Living in The Crucible's twisting halls, Maynard and his allies are threatened when an old enemy resurfaces. Maynard must flee to the mysterious Harfwere, a waystation of superstitious locals. When a prominent Veilmaker is slain, Maynard must flee into the forgotten tunnels beneath the waystation in search of escape. When his old allies fail him, Maynard must rely on a strange woman who speaks in riddles and half-truths that portend the end of the waystation, and perhaps the end of the skies themselves.
