★ "Michelin Star Steampunk served in a Brick of Text" — AdiofBali★ "A masterclass in convergence" — Weaver of Tales★ 4.79/5 from early readers · 18 chapters · Daily updates --- The world's Heart is dying. Only five shards of it remain. When a wooden thief is cornered in a library tower, she hides one of those shards inside the most disposable thing she can find — a blank-faced puppet apprentice named Goody. He has no voice. No memory. No name. He has only just begun to suspect that he exists. Now a usurper hunts the shard from the back of a black dragon. Rebels in a hidden city sharpen weapons for an impossible war. And a small wooden creature in a clockmaker's bag is carrying the last pulse of a god — learning, far too quickly, what love, shame, and grief mean. A dark steampunk fairytale. Daily updates.
