This 36 page novella tells of Raeth Artere time aboard Queen Mandessa Valderak's airship. A 12 year old Neumarian, or a 'parasite' according to the Queen and her terrified entourage. In an attempt to uncover the plot against the Queen they have been subjecting Raeth to hideous torture. Her first major surgery was to remove the majority of one leg and replace it with a metal one - without anesthesia. With one vicious cut young Raeth has been turned into a Slag, making it so that she no longer belongs anywhere. Not that this will be an issue unless she should miraculously survive her time on the ship, and somehow escape before they kill her. . .**Personal note I feel that this should have come between Escapement and Pendulum. . .
