The City on Fire is a complex labyrinth of closes, and narrow alleyways. Hidden in plain sight, away from the eyes of the unaware, is a small hole in a wall. What secrets lays beneath the closed curtains of the Crown ward, what are they concealing from the eyes of those they deem lesser.

Simon wakes up in a dark room, and can't remember anything that happened after breakfast that morning. 
Scarlet is the assistant of the apothecary in the lower wards in the city, and is particularly talented in medicine. 
The prodigious son 
The Colonels wife 
The Captain 
And the Colonel himself 

All are drawn together by a strange coin, and the prospect of revealing those who deem themselves higher's deepest, darkest secrets. 

Set in steampunk, Victorian era. The city is made up of four wards the crown ward, being those who have nothing but money; the sky ward, consists of those who are well off; in the depths of the blue ward, the sky is no longer visable, and the poor roam the streets; and at the very bottom of the city lies the sinister sand wars, where anarchy rules, and crime is a regular occupancy, even the guards dare not enter here...

Cover by @AdlerBourbon This story is about a dystopian social experiment devised by a disturbed professor. The town of Delphnea, a seemingly medieval village, is in fact an elaborate, controlled environment designed to simulate life in a bygone era. The professor has isolated the town from the modern world by erecting an invisible barrier, ensuring that none of the inhabitants can escape. His goal is to study how people behave when stripped of modern comforts and technology, reverting to primitive instincts and medieval societal structures. All of Delphnea's residents, including Carter and his father, are unaware that they are part of this grand experiment. They believe their lives are authentic and that they are living in a true medieval society. However, behind the scenes, the professor manipulates their environment-planting false information, monitoring their every move with hidden technology, and occasionally sending in outsiders like workers or agents to fix or alter parts of the experiment. The experiment is carefully crafted to test human behavior under duress, but over time, cracks begin to show. Modern elements occasionally slip through-like advanced technology, strange devices, and inconsistencies in the town's medieval setting-leading Carter and others to question their reality. As Carter and his friends uncover the truth, they realize they are pawns in a much larger game, a twisted psychological study where escape seems impossible and the professor watches every move from his hidden control room. In a world ruled by lies, the truth is deadly
