Forged in Blood & Steel: Volume I

By JT Baldwin

Book Overview

Forged in Blood & Steel Short Stories from the Blood and Steel Universe In a world rebuilt from the ruins of collapse, steel remembers what the past wants to forget. Forged in Blood & Steel is a collection of twelve interconnected short stories that blend grit, heart, and quiet revolution across a fractured future. From back-alley markets and forgotten labs to border towns and smoky forges, each tale explores the lives of those caught in the tension between who they are and who they must become. Meet a thief who times her cons by an antique stopwatch. A blacksmith who rebuilds broken machines -- and broken hearts. A soldier haunted by the names he can't say aloud. A father who fears the day his daughter steps into the world without him. Together, these stories serve as a prelude to the Ironforged trilogy, where alliances will shatter, and legends will be born in the fires of rebellion. But before the wars, before the names became myths -- there were just people. Bleeding, forging, surviving. Come see where it begins.
