In a dystopian world fueled with a mechanic obsession, the modern day we once knew is no longer. The continents are split up and lead by self-proclaimed dictators and each is an enemy of the other. The era that lead up to the fall of mankind became engulfed in technology, soon falling under a robotic overloard that was rumored to have mysteriously shut down. With the world driven apart, people run free to do what they want and the ever-present threat of a robotic uprising looms overhead. This is the story of Rose, a teenage girl living in the age of steampunk. Her life is as quirky as it comes. Machinery and contraptions bustle throughout the land and creativity flourishes. On an outing with her sister, Rose falls victim to a terrible incident that rids her of speaking. She gets carried away by a mysterious man that claims to have turned her into a cyborg. He warns her nothing will ever be the same and that she cannot return to her previous life. During talk of an uprising, Rose's mother falls ill to a new and deadly type of virus, with her only chance of getting medical help being in the farthest and most infamous place. Rose takes the risk of being caught and travels during radical riots and through the most ominous of places just to reach the Capitol where she may find much more than she bargained for.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
