Estries - Military Vampire Mecha Madness

Lt. Kazimiera “Kaz” Mazur is a mech pilot fighting on her nation’s last line of defense. Arcadia is losing. Mithris advances in steel and fire, their mechanized legions grinding everything beneath their iron boots. Kaz fights them with hatred in her heart and dwindling ammunition in her guns; every shot runs Arcadia one bullet closer to annexation and subjugation Then she finds him- a weapon that could win the war. Yevhen the vampire: a fang as ancient and powerful as he is insufferable and sarcastic. In an act of desperation to save Arcadia, Kaz makes a deal with the devil that will damn her soul but (hopefully) change the tide of war. With that Kaz and Yevhen are thrust into a world of intrigue, combat, and desperate gambits for the soul of Arcadia and themselves. Human mechs deploy against undead biomechanical horrors, ancient fangs ride engines of flesh and steel, and the world will never be the same. Estries is a full throttle military sci-fantasy: war machines, mercenaries, blood pacts, vampires, sardonic smiles, intrigue, and the cost vengeance exacts on the soul. Beta reader comments: -"It feels like the bastard love child of Bram Stoker and Robert Heinlein after they played Battle Tech together.” -“Hellsing meets Eva” -The manuscript is strong. It fits perfectly into the current market trend of "Dark Fantasy/Sci-Fi Mashups" (like Gideon the Ninth meets Pacific Rim). The writing is confident and the voice is distinct. Keep going. (I did!)
