Imagine a steampunk world in the Victorian era in modern ages. That's where Syl is. Syl, eighteen, has spent her entire life in the Gear Hall as an Engineer, a top ranking job in the world of Varse, or for as long as she can remember.

She only has a small locket of two children to remind her of her past. One day, after fourteen years, the missing Princess of Thorns is found in the midst of a brutal war between Thorns and Pyro and a spark of hope is to be regained. Syl is given the honor of creating the wedding between Princess Sylvia and Prince Tom of Illicia, the bond that will strengthen the Army and push Thorn into victory. But once Syl arrives at the palace, a series of events will change her life forever...

Nearly every culture on Earth harbors a secret underworld of fighters who adhere to ancient codes of honor and practice impossible martial arts. From the jianghu of the kung fu masters of China, to el bosque lucha of the luchador heroes of Mexico, the fencing schools of old world Europe, the martial arts underground of the United States prison system, the hidden subculture of the last Japanese samurai and beyond. In the modern era a mysterious patron seeks to unify these fighting worlds into a single "World Wulin", and warriors from across the planet find themselves drawn into a web of intrigue that runs far deeper than settling the question of who is the strongest fighter in this generation.
