A gutter-born scavenger. A graveyard world. And a destiny to dismantle an empire.
In the year 4022, Earth is a Rust-World. While the elites of the Celestial Mandate roam the stars in gold-plated Mechs, the people of Earth scavenge orbital trash just to pay the Atmosphere Tax.
For Elias Thorne, the math is simple: Pass the Celestial Trial and earn a seat at the Imperial Academy, or fail and die in the Atmos-Mines. He isn't fighting for glory-he's fighting for the oxygen filters his dying sister needs to breathe.
The Machine is Screaming. Elias is Listening.
When an ancient power awakens within his junk-class mech, Elias does the impossible-he dismantles an Imperial elite and forces his way into the Academy. Now, he must navigate a den of vipers and master his new-found skills before the Mandate bleeds his home planet dry.
The Desolate are never truly empty. It's time to show the Mandate what a Rust-Born can do.
