1899, the brink of a new generation was approaching. London was bustling, not a moment was quiet, from the high society ball above to the inventor's basement below. The people are split, falling and separating from unity. The audacious Centurists, with their revolvers and machinery, claim the world would be better if all old laws were erased and new ones took their place. And even some believe the class system should be torn down altogether. The stiff Eratives, stuck in tradition, believe the opposite and that the world is perfectly fine without change. This is no ordinary place, this is the City of Engineers.
Four children of different views are caught in Fate's wicked plot, being pulled into a war that should not take place.
