A mysterious disease infects automatons and turns them against their human masters, heightening political and economic strains.
Hortense (Ten) Monceaux leads an assembly team at one of Gredera's largest automaton factories. She is a refugee, trapped by a debt to Romulus House - a gang of 'old blood' West Bankers who feed and shelter her in return for labour.
Jesse Corvinus is the heir to Romulus House, and an enforcer of his father's interests, tasked with ensuring repayments are being met and rival gangs are kept in check.
When Ten is caught underfoot of a friend's schemes, Jesse is forced to bring her in. But not before they are set upon by a rampaging mech who is bent on bringing down the whole neighbourhood. It destroys the street and sends them both falling into the depths of the city. They have no choice but to stick together to find a way back to the surface. However, what they find beneath the streets of Gredera may well prove the cure for The Red, and may also expose a wider conspiracy that will turn scrutiny to the skies. To Caelum. The city above the city, where the aristocrats look down in disgust.

In the decaying heart of a town in the Midwest of Chicago, Illinois, where the factories are closing and the streets are stained with the weight of its past, Yasey Willow reigns as the untouchable kingpin of Ironvale High. With a reputation built on power, manipulation, and a cold disregard for the rules, she commands the halls, feared by both students and faculty alike. Then there's Azel Gunner, a fierce member of the Ironvale Brawlers, a group that thrives on violence and chaos. But beneath the tough exterior, Azel hides a storm of emotion that he can't quite control. They are from different worlds within the same broken town-Yasey, the king of the school, untouchable and ruthless; Azel, the brutal fighter, caught in a cycle of violence he can't escape. But when their paths collide in the dark corners of Ironvale, an undeniable tension ignites. What begins as a dangerous game of power and pride soon spirals into something far more dangerous: a love that cuts deep, burns with a fire they can't put out, and destroys everything in its wake. In a town where nothing survives untouched, neither Yasey nor Azel can resist the pull of a love that could break them both.

Yours to ruin, Silas." My voice was soft, but my words were a promise. I rested my palm on his chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath my touch.
