They prepare for a time honored tradition -- the arrival of the Silent Chorus, a divine tempest crafted by Zoreus, the great eidolon of storms.

London, 1909. The world runs on steam, steel, and war. As nations battle for industrial dominance through armored airships and experimental weaponry, young inventor Edward Conroy uncovers the final secrets of the Oberion Engine, a revolutionary energy source capable of changing civilization forever. But Edward's greatest creation is not the engine itself. It is Evelyn. An autonomous android capable of thought, emotion, and independent consciousness. When the militaristic Edinburgh Empire learns that the Oberion technology still exists, covert operatives begin hunting Edward across Britannia. As political conspiracies spread through London and the threat of war grows closer, Edward is forced into a deadly conflict involving imperial espionage, hidden research projects, and the disappearance of his father, Dr. Harvard Conroy. Alongside SIB intelligence agent Anthony Campbell, Edward and Evelyn become trapped in a race against empires seeking to weaponize the future itself. Because in a world powered by industry and fear, humanity was never going to use infinite energy responsibly. Naturally, the first question governments asked was: "How quickly can this be turned into a weapon?"

When the Vought Large Hadron Collider tears a rift into the toxic, neon-drenched depths of Zaun, the corporation launches an "alien invasion" on Earth to justify a hostile takeover of a new world Runeterra.

As Maeve begins to dismantle the lies she once served, she finds a reflection of her own lost humanity in Vi's defiance.
