The Alchemy of Rot

About this book

In the alchemically-powered, fog-drenched metropolis of Oakhaven, the brutal murder of a high-ranking Guild official threatens to ignite a citywide class war. Disgraced City Inspector Silas Manderley is assigned to the case, expected by his corrupt superiors to swiftly frame a slum-dweller and bury the truth. Instead, Silas's investigation intersects with the desperate plights of Ianthe Morvayn, a junior Guild auditor who has discovered terrifying discrepancies in the city's alchemical waste ledgers, and Roald Kincaid, a crippled underworld fixer whose territory is being ravaged by a mysterious flesh-eating toxin. As the three unlikely allies dig deeper, they uncover a sprawling conspiracy that links the ruling elite to a horrific plan to purge the city's underbelly. Hunted by the Guild's ruthless enforcers, the trio must navigate a labyrinth of political betrayal, dark magic, and systemic rot to expose the truth before Oakhaven drowns in its own toxic sins.
