Welcome to New Port Praxle, the gem of the Farlaxian Empire. Where airships and steam trains transport you to the far reaches of the world. Where magic and science are the same.

​

A place where you can find anything you want…for the right price.

​

You wouldn’t know it to see him now, but Sterling Shade was once a prodigy enchanter, and a powerful and respected wizard. Partnered with the most talented tinker in the empire, he had it all – a beautiful and talented fiancée and a promising life ahead. Until the unthinkable murder of his father and his bride-to-be sent him spinning.

​

Now, ten years later, Sterling is a drunk. He lives a life of debauchery and excess, contracting as a mage for hire for the seedy underworld of the city.

 

He has no plans to change his lecherous and carefree ways.

 

But when a whore at a brothel called Ruby’s Place is brutally murdered, Sterling is tasked with following the clues.

​

Little does he know, he’s about to come face to face with the past he’s been trying so desperately to forget.
