Not all that glitters is gold.
The desert city of Enimura may be a cesspool, but it's the only home Rosalia has ever had. When she is hired to steal a mysterious object from the city's most handsome clockwork mechanic, she barely escapes with her life. What kind of inventor keeps a fire-breathing dragon beneath his shop? Better yet, why does that dragon have eerily familiar green eyes?
Xavier Bane has guarded the world's most dangerous magical artifact for two decades. He spends his days imbuing clockwork trinkets with enchantments in his shop, and his nights slumbering below it in his secret dragon's hoard. Then comes a girl with the power to provide everything he needs, with a soul as radiant as gold and brighter than the stars.
Unfortunately, Rosalia is also a girl in trouble. Saving her will be the true test, if the forces seeking the artifact don't reach her first.
