dystopian machines

In the towering, gear-driven city of Brassreach, the wealthy live high above the clouds in the shining Sky Spires, while everyone else struggles to survive in the rust-choked streets below. Elias Ward, a 13-year-old tinkerer from the Rust District, has always been told to keep his head down and stay quiet.

But after his father mysteriously disappears, Elias discovers a hidden blueprint for a machine that could change everything-the Aether Engine, a device powerful enough to give the lower city clean air, working machines, and freedom from the government that controls them.

Now the ruthless Council of Gears will do anything to stop him. Their soldiers stalk the streets. Their airships patrol the skies. And whispers spread that the boy with the blueprint is worth more alive than dead.

Forced to run, Elias joins a group of rebels, learning who to trust-and who wants to use him. With danger tightening around him, Elias must decide:

Will he destroy the machine to stay safe?
Or finish what his father started and risk starting a revolution?

The future of the city ticks closer with every turn of the gear...All Rights Reserved

The Tinkerer's Gambit - Book 1 of "The Clockwork Odissey" Saga by JonStall

In the bustling, steam-powered city of Brasshaven, where towering spires and clockwork machines define the skyline, twenty-one-year-old Cheyenne Ardelle spends her days tinkering with gears and gadgets in her late father's workshop. Life is predictable-until she stumbles upon a mysterious artifact hidden in her father's belongings. The relic, known as the Aether Key, is said to hold the power to manipulate time itself, and it's the key to a dangerous secret her father died protecting. Pursued by the ruthless Obsidian Guild, led by the enigmatic and calculating Lady Eryndra Voss, Cheyenne must flee her quiet life and embark on a daring journey to uncover the truth about the Aether Key. Along the way, she teams up with Felix Cain, a rogue airship pilot with a sharp wit, a knack for getting into trouble, and a past as mysterious as the skies he calls home. Together, they navigate a world of perilous skies, underground labyrinths, and forgotten ruins as they piece together the puzzle of the Aether Key. But time is not their ally. The artifact's power is unstable, and its secrets could either save their world or destroy it completely. As Cheyenne discovers the truth about her father's legacy, she must decide whether she's willing to risk everything to stop the Guild-and whether she can trust Felix with more than just her life. The Tinkerer's Gambit is a thrilling steampunk adventure filled with danger, mystery, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of bold heroines, daring heists, and the ticking allure of clockwork secrets, this is a story where every gear matters, every second counts, and every choice could change the future.

Code Zero by Justan0therwrit3r

The world runs on power-and those who wield it are ranked, trained, and controlled. Within the walls of Aurenhelm Academy, hierarchy rules every aspect of life. Reds command, Blues excel, Purples endure, and Greens obey. But when an unidentified Manifested appears outside the capital-a boy with no recorded limit and no measurable signature-the system begins to unravel. The government calls him Code Zero. His power defies every known classification. His existence threatens the balance the Academy was built to maintain. Team Vale, led by the lowest-ranked leader in Academy history, is chosen to assist the authorities in locating and containing Code Zero. To the students, it sounds like an impossible assignment. To the government, it's expendable field data. What begins as a retrieval mission quickly spirals into something far greater: a race to understand whether Code Zero is a weapon, a warning, or the next stage of evolution itself.
