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.

Crimson Gears
When my home was consumed by the Rot, a deadly infection that left me orphaned and adrift in a world consumed by despair, I sought out a new beginning. Haunted by the ghosts of my past, I fled to a place that was said to be a safe haven, Zenith. That was where I first encountered Caspian, a man obsessed with 'collecting' those who he performs terrifying experiments on, trying to build an army of literal man-made automatons to take over the whole continent of Cogovia. Our first interaction caused a power within me I never knew I possessed to be unleashed, a cataclysmic force that both terrified and intrigued me. This newfound power drew the attention of Jasper Thorne, a reclusive inventor who resides in the hidden enclave of Aethelhum. Drawn into Jasper's enigmatic world of clockwork creations and forbidden secrets, I found myself trapped in a conflict I never imagined. Our initial encounters were marked by bitter clashes - his arrogance clashing with my defiance. Yet, as the shadow of Caspian's ambition loomed larger, we found ourselves an unlikely alliance. Together, we must learn to harness my burgeoning power and confront the psychopath who threatens to engulf Aethelhum and me in shadows. But in the face of impending doom, I realize that I must be the one to not only protect my new home and the enigmatic man who has become both my enemy and the man I was slowly falling in love with, but I also needed to protect the fragile hope of our future that has begun to bloom within my own shattered heart. As they say, having power comes with a cost, and that cost just might be my very life.

Yours to Ruin
I felt my breath hitch as my back hit the wall, but I was too lost in the ocean of his dark, stormy eyes to think rationally. "Why don't you stay away from me... I don't want to be the monster that steals all your light away, bellissima. I don't want to ruin you." His voice was deep, husky, his fingers brushing a strand of hair from my face, his gaze flickering from my eyes to my lips. But he didn't scare me. He never did. "But I want to be yours. 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. His eyes shut tight, his jaw clenched as he took a shuddering breath. "Dio, Bella... you're killing me." And then his lips crashed onto mine, his hands roaming my body, claiming me as his. Finally. -.-.- Silas Moretti. Don of the most dangerous Italian mafia. Cold, ruthless-a monster bound for hell. For years, he's had his eyes set on Aurelia Martínez-his best friend's little sister. Sweet, young, innocent. An angel destined for heaven. She was his drop of holy water in a life drenched in blood. And he? He was her drop of sin, tempting her into darkness. He kept his distance, convincing himself it was for her own good. But when fate ties them together in an arranged marriage, there's no running anymore. Because now? She's his. His to ruin.
