Overview: Forget everything you thought you knew about dragons born of blood and scale. In a poisoned world where magic is hoarded by a tyrannical elite, the most lethal weapon isn’t hatched. It is forged.
Taste the biting tang of copper and ozone as you plunge into the suffocating depths of the Undercity. You will feel the exact moment the protagonist’s heart shatters and reforms, beating in perfect, terrifying synchronization with the whirring brass core of a mechanical beast. This isn’t just a story about surviving a brutal, unforgiving empire. It is a visceral, pulse-pounding descent into grief, defiant rebellion, and a forbidden, scorching passion that sparks when the rigid perfection of a sky-bound lord collides with the chaotic brilliance of a smog-drenched inventor. Prepare to have your breath stolen by the sheer, devastating gravity of two broken souls realizing their only salvation is to burn down the very world that created them.
Twenty-year-old Odesa Quell has spent her life choking on the toxic exhaust of the Zenith empire, desperately hiding her murdered father’s forbidden blueprints. But when she successfully fuses raw, volatile Aether with iron and gears, she breathes a living soul into a two-hundred-ton biomechanical dragon. Her triumph is short-lived. Discovered by the ruthless Inquisition, Odesa expects the firing squad. Instead, she is thrust into a far more insidious nightmare: forced conscription.
Dragged from the dirt and thrown into the glittering, lethal heights of the elite Skyguard Academy, Odesa must prove her mechanical beast can survive among purebred fire-breathers and ice-drakes. Gravity isn’t the only thing waiting to kill her in this floating fortress. Aristocratic purists want her dead. Shadow-wielding zealots want to hollow out her dragon’s mind to build an unstoppable armada. And her appointed handler—Lord Dacre Sterling, a fiercely disciplined military prodigy with ice in his veins and fire in his blood—might be the most dangerous threat of all.
Bound together by a cruel twist of political warfare, Odesa and Dacre are forced into an agonizing, intimate proximity. She despises everything his pristine uniform represents. He loathes the chaotic defiance she brings to his perfectly ordered existence. Yet, as brutal trials and dark magic push them to the absolute brink, the icy walls between them begin to violently melt. Surviving the academy’s relentless gauntlets will demand every ounce of Odesa’s genius, but keeping her heart safe from the boy sworn to leash her might prove utterly impossible.
The sky is falling, and the forge is lit. Secure your copy now before the gates to the Caldera close forever. If you hesitate on this explosive first chapter of the rebellion, you will be left in the dust wondering how the world was finally won.
