A tale of revenge, deceit, opium, murder and treachery in the
shattered remnants of a steam-powered empire. He came from the
green wastes without warning, and within two hours an entire town
lay dead. Two people escape the massacre - one of them a boy named
Jason Cutter with nothing to his name save a worn pistol and the
memory of his murdered parents; the second a reclusive old man by
the name of Ossus, with a curious knowledge of the sky-cities above
and a pair of incomprehensibly advanced weapons stolen from their
inhabitants - self-proclaimed gods who rose Themselves up and
almost destroyed mankind in the process. As the pair chart a course
through the savage forests of the Mire and the industrial
labyrinths of its few remaining cities, they find allies in
Penelope Grosvenor - a scarred noblewoman and rape survivor - and a
sociopathic anti-theist whose loyalty runs only as deep as their
pockets. But where there are those sympathetic to their cause, so
too are there those who would see them dead - not least the
charming assassin Elliot Locke, a man himself harbouring a dark
desire for vengeance on his own partner in crime... As their
journey reaches its bitter conclusion, Jason, Penelope and Elliot
must all face their tormentors and decide what has the greater
worth: their vengeance, or their humanity.
