Iron & Shadow: Chronicles of the Barefoot Thief

RHEA is a shadow in the City of Iron. A master thief clad in a tattered hood, she rejects the noise of the Metal Age-her bare feet on the cold steel and slick stone are her only key to silence. Her life is simple: stay hidden, steal enough coin to survive, and never get involved in the wars of faith and technology that rage across the industrial metropolis.

But when a simple heist leads her deep into the heart of the Aethelgard Clockworks, Rhea steals more than just a Master Cipher Disk. She intercepts a shocking Mechanist plot-a "scheduled purge" set to wipe out the City's last vestiges of the Old Faith.

Now, with the chilling third bell counting down to a mass execution by steam and poison, Rhea must make a choice that goes against every rule she lives by. Armed with her trusty blackjack and the silent advantage of her movement, she must navigate the factory floor, evade the soulless Automatons, and use her stealth not for profit, but to dismantle a dark agenda from the inside out.

In the City of Iron, silence is gold, and sometimes, the deepest shadow is the only path to saving a soul.
