The city’s master assassin, Thomas Meade, is hunting.
His prey - the creator of a device so disturbingly dangerous that somebody is killing to protect it. Are the creator and the killer one and the same? Meade doesn’t like where the trail is leading him. He’s even less enamoured of the effects this device has; they are unlike anything Meade has ever encountered.
An unexpected encounter between Meade and the city’s Wheelhouse soon rips the city apart. The repercussions twist the investigation in ways the hunter never imagined.
Meade’s search takes him from the poisoned air of the walled city to the windswept heights of the Living Ice.
While the body count grows, Meade’s past taunts him, sometimes just out of reach, but at others, close enough to turn betrayal into devastation. When Meade discovers the identity of the device’s creator, the hunt takes a stranger, darker turn.
One he never saw coming.
