Fast-Paced, High-Octane Steampunk Fantasy. Nature vs Industry. Perfect for fans of Sanderson, Brown, and Westerfeld In the heart of the Iron Spires, debt decides everything. The Copperveins are Cyborg soldiers owned by the Ministry. They are sent into ruined zones to protect the harvest, reduce what debt they owe, and survive long enough to maybe, one day, be free. Their leader, Silas, runs on a pneumatic heart the Ministry installed with a kill-switch. His crew shares a similar fate: Garrick, who carries grief heavier than his brass frame. Tess, whose sharp mind hides a heart the Ministry couldn't quite engineer out of her. Pip, who hides his wounds behind jokes and a coin that never stops spinning. Together they are broken, indebted, and loyal to each other in ways they'd never admit. Beyond the Spires, the land is changing. The Root. An ancient force, is spreading through territory the Ministry once stripped bare. When the crew uncovers a relic that could disrupt the Ministry's control, it offers something they've never had before: leverage against the system that owns them. But claiming it means choosing sides in a war between iron and earth, between a future built on progress and one reclaimed by something older than industry. Caught between the authority of the Iron Spires and the advancing Root, Silas and his crew must decide whether they are just gears in a machine, or the force that finally breaks it. Action-packed. Emotionally devastating. Impossible to put down. If you want to contribute to my story, a review on Kindle or Goodreads would be highly appreciated! AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED
