The Ghost of Maddingbrew

Adis is the youngest accomplished thief in the ancient city of Maddingbrew, gateway to the East. Most thieves keep it simple; find the money, steal the money. Adis likes a challenge. Corrupt politicians pay her big bucks to find and steal incriminating information about their enemies. Riches are kept in vaults, but those letters to a mistress, or the "real" account books? Much trickier to acquire. She's got the skills, and the tools for the job thanks to herSebastian Fick, full-time alchemist and accidental mad scientist. When the biggest heist of her career lands Fick in the city prison, she is lured into a conspiracy that will drive the city to war with the bloodthirsty Haft Empire. Adis must employ her superior skills and tools to outwit the most powerful men in the city while staying one shadow ahead of the Watch. Otherwise, Madingbrew's most elusive thief will be forced to turn from theft to murder to survive.
