Nobody quits the wizards of Akken. Not in the city's memory, and the city's memory is long. Vani Brattle lasted a week.
The first Class Five Mover in history can lift several thousand tonnes, hold back a river, and swallow exactly none of the Tower's condescension. When a bomber brings down a wing of the Council House, Vani rips it back off to save two men, quits the wizards on the spot, and gets arrested for her trouble. Akken keeps a special prison for movers. It's a pit. The ceiling is three tonnes of steel.
Constable Parn Trippers has problems of his own. He's the first lawman ever attached to the White Ring, the wizards' own enforcers, in white jackets that show the blood really well. His old friends won't share a table with him anymore, and his new case keeps snagging on a question nobody will touch: talented people are vanishing from Akken, and no one remembers to miss them.
Some answers in this city are lethal to know. Vani and Parn are about to dig one up anyway.
For readers of Mark Lawrence and Patrick Rothfuss: a dark, immersive world where magic is an industry, and the industry keeps its secrets.
