Plot summary[edit | edit source]

FORTUNE AND FATE part 3 TURNABOUT

Doctor Aphra and her team were hired by Detta Yao to find the Rings of Vaale, mysterious ancient artificacts of untold power.
The rings—should they even exist—could be the biggest payday of Aphra's career. There's just one tiny but extremely
dangerous detail—Ronen Tagge, scion of the infamous and insanely powerful Tagge family, has his eyes on the prize.

Aphra's team tracked the rings to Dianth and found an ancient city…made entirely of bone? Living bone?
And what's that terrible, high-pitched sound?

Something sinister is definitely afoot on Dianth…but luckily, the team discovered the entrance to the workshop where the
rings might rest—only to have the floor collapse beneath their feet! And Tagge's mercenaries have arrived....
