  What the nobles don’t know can’t hurt them. But how long can the Maskers keep their secrets?

  Unfortunately for them, he’s right. 
   
  But there is something shady about this inspector. Letting him claim their inventory might not simply destroy their legacy, it might deliver powerful and unpredictable artifacts directly into the clutches of forces with sinister aims.
