Steris is introduced early in Alloy of Law, when she makes a visit to the Ladrian mansion to discuss arranging an engagement between herself and Wax{{book ref|mb4|2}}. This was the first time Steris and Wax had met in person, although they had been exchanging letters regarding a house union for several months. Steris presented Wax with a “thorough” document of at least 20 pages that outlined each stage of their courtship and engagement, as well as the terms of their eventual marriage, an arrangement that Wax agreed to. In this scene Steris also met [[Wayne]], in the guise of Wax’s fictional Uncle Maskil.
Steris and Wax attended the [[Yomen
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 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.
