Steris and Wax attended the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]] as a couple a few days after their first meeting.{{book ref|mb4|4}} As they entered the party, Steris educated Wax on how Elendel society revolved around gatherings like it, and how invitations were used almost as weapons. Steris also informed Wax that she would no longer respond negatively to his “ignorant frontiersman” act. Despite this statement, she did become frustrated with his coarse table talk and leave their group for a moment. As a result, she was in the bathroom when the [[Vanishers]] attacked the party. Steris and Marasi were the kidnapping targets of the attack,{{book ref|mb4|5}} and while Wax was able to rescue Marasi, Steris was ultimately taken.{{book ref|mb4|6}} Lord Harms was devastated at the loss of his only (legitimate) daughter, and offered to bankroll Wax’s efforts to recover her.{{book ref|mb4|7}} The next day, Wax coaxes Marasi into revealing that she and Steris are actually half-sisters, rather than cousins as they were first introduced.
Wax felt intensely guilty about failing to save Steris, and thus undertook an intense investigation into the Vanishers and their mysterious financial backers. As he finally confronted [[Miles Hundredlives]], the leader of the Vanishers, Wax discovered Steris hidden in a room of Miles’s lair.{{book ref|mb4|19}} He rescued her from the room and used his [[Feruchemical]] and [[Allomantic]] powers to collapse the building, an event which Steris appeared to find exhilarating. He then had Steris run from the scene to fetch the constables. After the fight was over and Miles was arrested Steris was interviewed about her experience by the constabulary, then offered Wax her thanks for his rescue.{{book ref|mb4|20}} She informed him that she “remained pure” after her captivity, and suggested that the pair advance the timeline for their relationship that had been laid out in her contract, an advance that would be facilitated by his dramatic rescue. Steris also informed Wax that she would no longer complain at his hobby of rushing around the city fighting crime, because they could each accept the other for who they were. For the first time, Steris shows a small amount of affection for Wax.
