Detective Cora Gorderheim has found the man who strangled the Wayward
storyteller, but he was just a small part of a much bigger tale. Someone
powerful ordered a murder on Cora's patch. That someone still lurks in
the shadows. But as she continues her investigations, Cora is warned not
to pry into the great and the good of Fenest. Too stubborn to know
better, Cora keeps digging and begins to piece together a conspiracy
that reaches from the gutter dwellers of the Union of Realms right to
the top: the Chambers. As the Audience hear the Torn and Perlish tales,
Cora realises she must return to her own story, to its very beginning,
if she's going to have any say in its end.
