Karl Heisenberg died a monster's death in the frozen shadows of an Eastern European village-or so he thought. Instead of the void, the collapse of the Megamycete hurls his consciousness across dimensions, depositing him half-dead in the radioactive dust of the Night City Badlands. Found and revived by the Aldecaldos, the "Lord of Metal" finds himself stripped of his army but still wielding his terrifying magnetic core.
Panam Palmer, the clan's fierce and fiery scout, doesn't trust the stranger with the thick accent and the impossible "magic." But as corporate hunters and a creeping, mutated strain of the Mold begin to infect the city's cyberware, Panam and Heisenberg are forced into a volatile partnership. Between high-speed desert chases and gritty neon-lit shootouts, suspicion turns to a slow-burn attraction.
In a world where everything is for sale and "family" is the only currency that matters, Heisenberg must decide if he's still the tyrant of the factory or if he's finally found something worth fighting for that isn't made of scrap: a home.
