A Tangle of Traitors

The Giant, the Huntress, the Rich Girl, the Thief: these haphazard heroes will save us from grief--a twisted adventure of intrigue, magic, and superstition from the author of the series Tales from the Sinister City Don't go down to the tar pits, children--for their shores are lined with the wretched wraiths of all the traitors and murderers who have drowned in its bubbling depths. In the shadows of this putrid place, an unlikely new alliance is being formed: they call them The Phenomenals, and only they can save us from a hideous fate that will befall the town if the wraiths escape their tarry shackles. Meet The Phenomenals: Citrine Capodel--heiress to a corrupt empire who will seek the truth at any cost; Folly Harpelaine--a merciless destroyer of the ghastly entities called Lurids, who dabbles in the dark arts; Jonah Scrimshander--a deadly harpoonist, who has already cheated death; and Vincent Verdigris--a brazen-faced, metal-handed cutpurse and expert picklock.
