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...

Imagine a steampunk world in the Victorian era in modern ages. That's where Syl is. Syl, eighteen, has spent her entire life in the Gear Hall as an Engineer, a top ranking job in the world of Varse, or for as long as she can remember. Her last memory was her when she was four years old, being taken by her guardian Marv to the Hall. Beyond that, she has no recollection of anything, her parents, friends, nothing. She only has a small locket of two children to remind her of her past. One day, after fourteen years, the missing Princess of Thorns is found in the midst of a brutal war between Thorns and Pyro and a spark of hope is to be regained. Syl is given the honor of creating the wedding between Princess Sylvia and Prince Tom of Illicia, the bond that will strengthen the Army and push Thorn into victory. But once Syl arrives at the palace, a series of events will change her life forever...
