There is no sky in the Clockwork Empire.
Only smoke.
Only fire that remembers.
In the heart of the Iron Spire, where the life of workers bleeds into steam and justice is sold for coin, a girl with fire in her veins walks alone.
They call her witch.
They call her kingslayer.
But no one asks what she remembers when the flames rise.
A forgotten war.
A sister in hiding.
A deal sealed in blood and silence.
Then—
A mission.
A man who does not burn.
Now the rules are breaking.
She was meant to destroy.
She might choose something else.
But choosing has a cost.
