In a land where the Automaton population is rising and the human species seizes to exist, trouble is brewing. The robots are returning and in the scorching wastes of South Asia, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the country's once guaranteed safe haven. At the centre of the chaos lies Kiara, A seventeen-year-old girl from Australia who is as unyielding to the land she was born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to scorching kingdoms, this is a tale of girls and boys that have now experienced the horrors of the unspeakable. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of Kiara and her enemies hang perilously in the balance as each endeavour to win that deadliest of conflicts: The Automaton's Dawn.
