The Charlatan's Gambit

Felix was just another street vendor trying to make an honest (or not-so-honest) living—until the police cracked down on peddlers, leaving him broke, homeless, and desperate. But if the world won’t give him a fair shot, he’ll take an unfair one. With his silver tongue, a knack for building dubious contraptions, and his trusty (and slightly reluctant) partner, Hector, Felix embarks on a new career: professional con artist.

From selling "miracle machines" to swindling the upper class with elaborate scams, Felix weaves his way through a world of steam-powered industry and arcane trickery.
