Every engineer knows: find the weak point, and the whole structure falls. Ferrum Vale knows it too.
Noah Calder came to Crownspire with proof that Ferrum Vale is meddling in Therondale's affairs. All he needs is an audience with the crown. Instead, he gets a delay, and plenty of time to find trouble.
Posing as a scribe at the kingdom's prestigious magical academy, Noah catches the eye of Mara, a brilliant student who sees through his disguise in a heartbeat and is hiding secrets of her own. With Ciri at his side, he follows a trail from the city's docks to a human trafficking ring, and then to the bandits who killed his brother.
Ferrum Vale isn't just smuggling people. It's turning them into weapons. And when Noah starts pressing on the weak point, he discovers that holding the kingdom together might demand a price he never imagined paying.
The war for Therondale has begun. Grab the second book of The Iron Lord and find out what an engineer builds when everything is falling apart.
Genre: Fantasy
