The Empire's power grid does not just light the streets, it listens.
In the soot-choked Lower Districts of Aerthos, Eliza Vance survives by fixing what the Empire discards, broken prosthetics, failing valves, machines built to grind workers into silence. Then a dying courier collapses at her door with a cloth-wrapped heart and a message tied to the father the Empire erased.
One brief, impossible surge ripples through the Great Concordance Engine, and the capital notices. Deep beneath the palace, the Engine flags Eliza's workshop. Above ground, Lord Valerius Ironheart's Brass Council tightens its grip. At their side, Prime Mechanist Doctor Alistair Whitlock advances a new weapon disguised as stability: a Harmony Protocol that can turn dissent into compliance through the aetheric lines themselves.
Hunted by Techno-Security and pulled into the undercity's Cogwork Collective, Eliza must learn what her father was building, what the Engine can truly do, and what it costs to fight a machine that wants to tune the human soul.
A steampunk rebellion thriller about surveillance, consent, and the dangerous hope of taking the system apart from the inside.
