A Matter of Betrayal

Targeted by a mad scientist's deadly serum, these outcasts band together to uncover the truth and to fight back.

Spire City is home to mighty machines of steam power and clockwork, and giant beetles pull picturesque carriages over cobbled streets, but there is a darker secret behind these wonders. A deadly infection, created by a mad scientist, is spreading through the city, targeting the poor and powerless, turning them slowly into animals. A group of those infected by the serum join together to survive, to trick the wealthy out of their money, and to fight back.

A botched job leaves Marrel's band suspecting that someone within the group has betrayed them, and all eyes turn against Khet. Has she betrayed them? Can they prove anything? And what happens if they find no proof, or proof that points at someone else? Marrel's hold on the group may come undone, either way.
