The Giant, the Huntress, the Rich Girl, the Thief: these haphazard heroes will save us from grief… Down in the tar pits, an unlikely new alliance is being formed: they call them The Phenomenals, and only they can save us from a hideous fate that will befall the town… Citrine Capodel, heiress to a corrupt empire and framed for a murder she did not commit; Folly Harpelaine, who dabbles in the dark arts; Jonah Scrimshander, a deadly harpoonist, and Vincent Verdigris, light-fingered and even lighter on his feet.
