Soon, the river will tear out the foundations of the bridge. So Anwyn embarks on solving the mystery of the Water Lady and helping the folk who live at the base of the bridge known as The Depths. But there are those who would just as soon the Harper Mage not learn the truth, for that would spoil their plans to run those who dwell in The Depths from their homes and put the wealth of Stonegorge into their own pockets. But his magic may not be enough to save The City Under the Bridge unless Anwyn can solve the riddles buried in Stonegorge itself.
