THE TEMPLAR: When Lieutenant Iari hears screams in the
night, she expects to interrupt a robbery or break up a
fight. Instead she discovers a murder with an impossible
suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned
after the end of the last conflict, repurposed for manual
labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has.
Iari sets out to find it.
THE SPY: Officially, Gaer is an ambassador from the
vakari. Unofficially, he's also a spy, sending information
back to his government, unfiltered by diplomatic channels.
Unlike Iari, Gaer isn't so sure the riev's behavior is just
a malfunction, since the riev were created using an unstable
mixture of alchemy and arithmancy.
As Gaer and Iari search for the truth, they discover that
the murderous riev is just a weapon in the hands of a
wielder with wider ambitions than homicide--including
releasing horrors not seen since the war, that make a
rampaging riev seem insignificant...
