Shadow and Steel: A Short Story Series.
In a time where mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine on all. In the shadow of the Terran Commonwealth's steel grip lies the Fringe: a wild, lawless frontier where survival comes at the the barrel of a blaster. Here, smugglers, outlaws, and desperate souls navigate a world of dangerous alliances and deadly betrayals, carving out lives amidst the chaos of interstellar power struggles.
In this unforgiving universe, technology is currency, and secrets worth dying for are traded in dark corners. Some fight for freedom, others for redemption, but in a galaxy ruled by cold steel and colder hearts, the line between hero and villain is as blurred as the stars themselves.
In a world where every decision could be your last, only the strong survive amidst Shadow and Steel.
