Steampunkfantasy Stories

In the smoke-choked nation of Lusena, survival is the only dream the poor are allowed to have. Juan Barrion Veyra is no hero-just a factory worker, a gambler, and a man running from his past. When a failed heist unleashes a brutal manhunt across the city, Juan is dragged into a war he never chose, crossing paths with Dahlia Soleyna, a dangerous thief hiding secrets of her own. As gangs hunt, corporations tighten their grip, and soldiers turn streets into graves, something ancient begins to stir-something that should never have been found. Bound by fear, loss, and impossible choices, Juan and Dahlia are forced to fight not just the world closing in on them, but the slow corrosion of who they are becoming. Power whispers. Loyalty fractures. Love becomes both a weapon and a weakness. Blood Prayer Before Death is a dark Filipino-inspired steampunk fantasy about revolution, betrayal, and the terrifying cost of power-where survival demands sacrifice, and the line between hero and monster is written in blood. Because in Lusena, you don't pray for life. You pray before death.

Before he was the shapeshifter. Before the name Devil's Luck meant anything. He was just a stranger in a broken world. When Cole awakens in a land of steam, iron, and false gods, he has nothing - no weapon, no map, no memory of how he got there. The skies are choked with smoke, machines run on the blood of relics, and the people have forgotten what peace feels like. Alone in the chaos, Cole crosses paths with outlaws, gladiators, and inventors - people clinging to scraps of hope in a world that chews through them faster than the gears turn. Together, they'll search for a way to survive... or a reason to keep trying. But in a place where miracles are made of machinery and faith is traded like currency, survival comes with a price - and every choice leaves a scar. Luck of the Damned begins the saga of Cole, the man who would one day be known as the Devil's Luck - a story of found family, betrayal, and the thin line between being human and becoming something else. In a world that runs on broken promises, some men are too stubborn to die.

Can Ilara make the bird sing in the light of the 'first star' to reveal the truth that could free her city from the fog... or shatter the order she has grown accustomed to?

The Ursal Federation has utilised the impossible magic of the rune stones to cement themselves as the foremost world power.

What if magic never died? What if it built cities in the sky? When Olga and her daughter Tanyusha hide from war in a cold Kyiv basement, they expect darkness. Instead, they find light. A door. And a world that shouldn't exist. Here, electricity was never invented. Here, magic powers skyships and healing stones, and people speak through crystal-bound communicators. Here, dragons sleep in the clouds, and the lost cities of Atlantis never sank. They've crossed into a mirror year-2022, but not theirs. And there's no way back. As the sky-borne nation faces growing unrest, Tanyusha may hold a power no one expected. And Olga must let go of everything she once believed... or risk losing her daughter to a world that already feels like home.
