The streets of Westport are littered with signs of woe and dismay, of fear and defeat. The Watchers have turned a blind eye to the plight of the people for too long, forsaking the helpless gentry, leaving them prey to monsters and madmen. Change is in the air, however. One voice, raised in earnest against the broken priorities of the city’s rudderless would-be protectors, has begun to awaken the watchers to the threats that stalk their city at night. When tragedy strikes at the heart of the watch, the true dangers plaguing the city become unavoidable to even the most stubborn and skeptical. However, without solid leadership, even a diligent watch may be no match for the perils that grip their suffering city… Meanwhile, after weeks at sea, disgraced former Detective Constable Lukarde Alfans must contend with the machinations of the duplicitous captain of the Knave’s Gambit. Recent events have brought Lukarde to a breaking point, and he must now reckon with the blood that stains his hands… blood spilled in pursuit of justice for the victims among his fellow, beleaguered passengers… …Blood he fears will never fully wash away… ***Author's Note to Reviewers: The prologue chapter has undergone fairly extensive rewrites since I released this ARC. I would be very happy to share the new version with you if it helps to give a more accurate review to see what people buying the retail version will see. I am probably going to be releasing it as a free stand-alone reader magnet with a few narrative and world-building additions. Thank you for your patience!***
