When the leader of the ruthless Technic League calls in a favor, the
mild-mannered alchemist Alaeron has no choice but to face a life he thought
he'd left behind long ago. Accompanied by his only friend, a street-savvy
thief named Skiver, Alaeron must head north into Numeria, a land where brilliant
and evil arcanists rule over the local barbarian tribes with technology looted
from a crashed spaceship. Can Alaeron and Skiver survive long enough to unlock
the secrets of the stars? Or will the backstabbing scientists of the Technic
League make Alaeron's curiosity his undoing?
From Hugo Award-winner Tim Pratt comes a fantastical adventure of science,
savagery, and the vagaries of the human heart, set in the world of the
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and tied into the Iron Gods Adventure
Path.
