The Wells of Vashara

For eleven years, the fountains of Vashara have stood dry while the

city's poorest wards endure rationing. Then one morning water begins

climbing upward through the stones, defying every law engineer Adira

Sen understands. With apprentice Fez beside her, Adira follows the

impossible flow into a system of buried channels, official

measurements, and secrets the ruling council would rather keep sealed.

Saving the city will mean finding out who controls its water—and who

has been forced to pay for it.
