Three orphans from Port Haven come back together as new members of the Charter Guild. Roice is a former guardsman with a glaive and a conscience. Wex is an ex-smuggler with a moon goddess that speaks directly to him. Emilie hears whispers that no one else can. Their first jobs pull them into a merchant family’s monster-smuggling ring, a ghost at a society ball, and a sealed maze beneath the city that four undying rulers want back. When one of them makes a secret pact in blood, their friendship becomes the thing most at risk. The Fourth Chair is the first book of the Port Haven novels, read chapter by chapter.

  1. Episode 1

    Chapter 1: The Final Test

    Chapter 1: The Final Test Three orphans who grew up together haven’t seen each other in years. Then they turn up on the same bench, waiting to take the Charter Guild’s final test. The job sounds simple: clear the rats out of two bakery cellars on Baker’s Pass, and don’t get distracted. But these rats eat stone, someone is watching the street, and the baker who wants them gone keeps telling the new recruits not to look in the corners.

    Chapter 2: One Copper Star

    Chapter 2: One Copper Star The test is over, but the three new recruits brought something up from that cellar that they shouldn’t have kept. Now someone in Port Haven wants it back badly enough to pay for it, and Wex is the only one who knows where it is.

  3. Episode 3

    Chapter 3: Sage Gardens

    Chapter 3: Sage Gardens Their first solo contract is a beast in Ravenwood: something tall and scaled that walks into a forest lake as if it lived there. It sounds simple enough. But then the three recruits come face to face with it and Emilie hears what’s going on inside its head.

  4. Episode 4

    Chapter 4: Plum Pie Weather

    Chapter 4: Plum Pie Weather In the village of Gildingwood, the rain keeps time, the bakery makes nothing but plum pie, and a tiger has turned up on the village green. Nobody has been hurt yet. ...Yet...

  5. Episode 5

    Chapter 5: Winterforth

    Chapter 5: Winterforth Emilie finally gets an answer from Oronos Silvermane: a riddle, sealed with a dragon, and a deadline. Meanwhile the three recruits have an easy courier job: carry four ruby gems across the city, and keep Emilie thirty feet away. Then a cart breaks loose at the top of a hill, and something blue and hungry spills into the street outside the forge.

  6. Episode 6

    Chapter 6: Cards and Knives

    Chapter 6: Cards and Knives On a quiet night at the fish farm, Roice and Wex lie on a rooftop and wait for whatever comes up out of the pens. Across the city, Emilie has spent her savings to have her cards read by the woman who runs the Dusk House. Before the night is over, one of them will face a man who won’t put down his sword. Another will hear an offer from a stranger who says he has a great deal to tell.

  7. Episode 7

    Chapter 7: Moonlight and Steel

    Chapter 7: Moonlight and Steel Roice says the killing was clean, and he needs it to be true. Wex goes looking for a ragged priest in the moon shadows of New Haven to find out who has been talking in his head. The recruits are about to be raised in rank and given new blades, made with the gems they carried across the city. By morning, those blades won’t be what anyone forged.

  8. Episode 8

    Chapter 8: The Ghost Wolves of Ravenwood

    Chapter 8: The Ghost Wolves of Ravenwood Something is guarding the north road through Ravenwood: white wolves that glow in the dark, with eyes almost like people’s. They don’t touch travelers. They only kill the bandits who prey on them. The ranger brigade wants to know what the wolves are before they mistake a woodcutter for a bandit. The trail leads to a hill north of the forest, where an old wizard lives in the mouth of a cave that goes down into the dark.
