Welcome to The Rook Book3

The city of The Rook is a glorious misstep in architectural history-a London that overshot the mark. With Elizabethan arches elbowing Georgian facades and Victorian rooftops flirting with steampunk plumbing and ambient sorcery, it teems with whispers and wonder. Home to oddities both human and hypothetical (goblins are never ruled out), the city beckons the curious to poke about its secrets. In Book One - The Hydromancer's Stone, an ancient statue was unearthed beneath the city, though "unearthed" is a generous word for something that tried to summon a demon. To stop the aforementioned fiend from breaking out of stone-and-mortar prison, the four sigils of the city's peculiar brand of mafic were required. Cue a series of close shaves involving untidy assassins, sulking mages, and goblins with murky loyalties. The stone was secured. Three more remained. In Book Two, The Stones of Binding, the Circumancers' head honcho nabbed two more stones, with one fatal scuffle on the Skyhook Balloon Docks for good measure. The Terramancers' leader-perhaps out of guilt, perhaps out of boredom-handed his stone over willingly. But when all three were finally used to silence the statue, it turned out the third was a fake. Now, in the final volume, the last stone must be wrested from the cold, possessive hands of those who intend chaos. But time may be against our heroes, for the demon, long slighted and hell-bent on revenge, is railing at the bars of its cage - and so... let the masquerade begin...
