Synopsis
In a world where magic and technology battle for dominance, the city of Velkan stands as a monument to opulence and misery. High atop the towers of glass and steel, the technocratic elite rule with an iron fist, while in the shadows of the lower districts, the forgotten fight to survive. Between these two worlds, a group of rebels seeks to change the city's fate.

The sun barely filtered through the towers of Velkan, casting long shadows over the damp alleys of the Threshold District. Lyra, a young woman with amber eyes and a scar on her cheek, moved through the rubble with the skill of someone who had lived on the edge of danger her entire life.

From the high balconies, mechanical sentinels patrolled with cold, blue-glass eyes. Rumors said that the technocrats had found a new source of power, a lost relic buried in the archives of the past, and that its discovery could tip the balance between magic and science once and for all.

Lyra knew she couldn't allow it.
