This short story collection is packed with previously unpublished chapters from a plethora of unique perspectives taking place during Parts 1 through 4.

Explore the lower city, the orphanage, the temple, the Royal Academy, and many other locations further afield than ever before. What do those in Myne’s (or Rozemyne’s) circle think about her actions?
