The Iron Horse is a massive steam-powered locomotive manned by a crew of warriors, miscreants, and genetic anomalies. Socrates, the train's commander, is an autonomous steam-powered gorilla with memories and knowledge reaching back more than a thousand years. Their mission is to locate a new source of starfall, the rare element that powers the ancient city of Sanctuary. Their civilization needs starfall, but for Socrates the matter is personal. Without it, he will die.After a brief respite on the shores of the Forgotten Sea, the crew readies for their next great adventure. This time, the tracks will take them somewhere entirely different. The only way across the great sea is under it. But as the Iron Horse plunges into the icy waters, something goes wrong. The train has been sabotaged, and to make matters worse, their fuel supply has been stolen.Trapped at the bottom of the sea, faced with the choice between a slow death by suffocation or a fast one in the crushing black waters, Socrates makes a last ditch effort to save the crew. He believes there is a cavern ahead, if they can only make it that far… But even if they survive, the crew may face an even greater peril from a completely unexpected new enemy.

As the Iron Horse journeys ever deeper into its mysterious post-apocalyptic world, the crew encounters a lone knight on a quest to slay a dragon. They mock him at first, but when they arrive at the fog-shrouded city known as Stormwatch, the streets are abandoned, the doors are locked, and the citizens are terrified to leave their homes. One old woman, alone and seemingly insane, confronts the crew with this ominous warning: "Beware the dragon's breath!"They hear the knight's words echoed in her statement, and begin to realize that things may not be as they appear. Then, as night closes in, strange things begin to happen aboard the Iron Horse. Crew members are attacked by invisible beings and strange, mutated creatures. One by one, they begin to vanish. When it seems things can't get any worse, they realize their adventure has only just begun... and that maybe, just maybe, dragons really do exist.

Sedgwick's one of a kind fantasy series continues, and this time Hank Mossberg is taking a backseat. Prepare to be treated to an entirely different perspective on life in the gritty fantasy setting of San Francisco's undercity: Goblin P.I. Sam Snyvvle may be crude, cynical, and vulgar, but one thing he's not is stupid. When a gorgeous dryad offers Sam a king's ransom to retrieve her stolen diamond, he knows the whole thing smells like a setup. Unfortunately, there are two things that Sam can never pass up: a gorgeous dame, and a truckload of money. Besides, if things don't work out with the girl, Sam knows he can always pilfer the diamond for himself. Snyvvle sets out to find the missing gem, but immediately ends up in hot water. He's trapped in a room with a dead mob boss, an empty safe, and the police banging down the door. Sam knows he looks guilty as sin, so he does what any sensible goblin would do: He goes on the run. Now, Sam is in a race to locate the missing diamond before the cops catch him or the mobsters kill him. Fortunately, Sam knows the dark, seedy streets of the undercity like the back of his hand, and he swears that when he finds the people who framed him, they're going to regret it. That is, if the cops, the mob, and his arch-nemesis Hank Mossberg don't catch him first!

Siva's prophecy came true, and it was Hank's worst nightmare. Hank watched his beloved city overrun by gangs, serial killers, and pixie dust dealers. He saw the fae humanized and turned into brainwashed zombies. Finally, he was set up -framed as a murderer and a terrorist- and betrayed by the woman he loved. Now he's back, and somebody's going to pay.Hank's return to the undercity begins with a rude awakening. In the wake of the massive terrorist attack, the Undercity Police Department has collapsed. The fae are being terrorized by a self-appointed dictator who calls himself "The Governor," and his army of jackbooted thugs known as Peacekeepers. Hank has a lot of work to do if he's going to straighten things out, but in the meanwhile, there's something else he has to do.First, he's got to solve a few murders, one of which is particularly personal. Then, he's going to find Siva and make her pay for what she's done…

Hank Mossberg has a bad feeling about his latest job, and it's not just the fact that he's working for the dark fae known as Siva. Something's brewing in the undercity; something dark and intangible, like an evil spell simmering in the shadows. Crime and violence are at an all-time high. Street gangs are growing more powerful, and drug abuse is rampant.There's something different about Siva, too. She claims to have lost her powers. Hank's not sure he can believe her, but the amount of money she's offering is too much to resist. All he has to do is track down one of her clients and then cash his check. No problem… Until the bodies start piling up.Too late, Hank realizes he's being framed. Now, it's a matter of avoiding the cops long enough to find out who's after him and why. Unfortunately, Hank doesn't have the resources he used to. He's lost touch with many of his friends, and he's quickly losing the few he has left. It looks like this time Hank is on his own.
