The title Tainted City is a play on those with the Taint, a form of magic only a few children can wield, and it's these few that ganglords use to commit robberies, which adds a touch of Dickens. How the author sets this untraceable, more rudimentary magic against the higher levels of the mages makes for some dramatic moments, in which even the strongest mages are vulnerable/5(23). The Tainted City Chapter One (Dev) I wedged my fingers higher in the crack snaking up the boulder's overhanging face. A push of a foot, a twist of my body, and the overhang's lip was nearly within reach. Good thing, since I had to finish this little warm-up climb fast, or risk a whipping if the shift bell rang before I got to the mine. Once in Ninavel the mission proves more treacherous than even Dev could have imagined. Betrayed by allies, forced to aid their enemies, he and Kiran must confront the darkest truths of their pasts if they hope to save those they love and survive their return to the Tainted City.
