Chandlemarsh

When the city of Chandlemarsh began its mysterious descent into lawless darkness, the Merchant Lords built a wall dividing the city. It protects their mansions, but dooms everyone else. Inside the wall, the Merchant Houses are safe and secure. Beyond the wall, in the port district, life is descending into chaos. 

Nicholas works in a dockside warehouse, dreams of rising through the ranks, of being important, of living inside the wall. When Lord Isthric's ring is stolen in a brazen raid, Nicholas' dreams are shattered. Refusing to give up, he places his last hope in the book of a long dead witch. Can the secrets he discovers turn the tide? Can he unravel the arcane mystery behind the city’s decline? If not, he won't just lose his dreams. He'll lose his life and love as well.
