Terror in Stone

The first Thorncroft mystery.

Something in Blackharbor is abducting the innocent and turning them to stone. Only Amelia Thorncroft can stop it.

Blackharbor rises in nine distinct tiers above a violent sea. Gas lamps struggle against the mist. Arcane engines throb behind respectable walls. Beneath the streets, old things lie buried — and most who walk above have forgotten why certain places were once avoided.

Most citizens know better than to question what moves in the fog.

Dr. Amelia Thorncroft has made a profession of it.

From the cluttered workshop at 9 Widdershins Lane, Amelia investigates the problems the Watch cannot explain and the Church would sooner burn than acknowledge. At her side stands Evie Fairweather, a brilliant wild mage whose command of magic is equalled only by her determination to keep Amelia alive. Above them circles Corax, an enormous raven with a cutting wit, an extensive network of spies, and opinions on nearly everything.

Terror in Stone opens their first recorded investigation.

It is a descent into the hidden machinery of Blackharbor, where science has trespassed upon something older. A mystery of strange marks, fractured minds, and the terrible suggestion that the world is far less solid than it appears.

The evidence is waiting.

The instruments are prepared.

The mist has already begun to close behind you.

Open the first case.
