Messenger: A Jaegers of the Consortium novel

By Diesel Jester

After the Great War and subsequent Cataclysm, nations lay decimated across the globe. Borders fell, economies were ruined, and lawlessness prevailed. Amid chaos and uncertainty, the Consortium rose up to bring order to the global economy and within them came the Jaegers as the beacons of chivalry, truth, and justice. They were the international investigators, police, judges, and executioners with the sole purpose of hunting those who sought to oppress the weak. The fall of the prestigious House of Spence has shaken the Theocracy of Dixie to its very core with Baroness Lucilla "Lucy" Spence at the center of it all. Having been arrested by the Consortium in connection with her older brother's crimes, Lucy strikes a deal in which she gives testimony in order to protect the rest of her family. Testimony comes at a price as in doing so as she unwittingly breaks Theocracy law to do so. Now she is disowned, out on her own, and facing a very vengeful Theocratic system of justice by herself. Jaeger Gabriel McKibben, The Messenger, who was once betrothed to the Lady Spence, has been called to act as her advocate. Having once been burned by the Spences before, he takes a cautious outlook on the case at first but soon unleashes the full fury of his legal expertise when he realizes that the woman he once loved is just a victim of circumstance. He has taken on tough cases before but wonders if even he can beat the system this time. In his effort to save Lucy, Gabriel's investigation takes him all over the Theocracy as layers upon layers of corruption and deceit are uncovered. While Lucy's freedom from Theocratic law hangs in the balance, Gabriel must call in the full weight of the Jaeger Corps to get to the truth while facing skeletons in the closet that he thought were long buried. It's a whirlwind adventure that takes them both to the far borders of the Theocracy and even out into the dreaded Wastelands themselves. Messenger, the third book in the Jaegers of the Consortium series, is a story of romance, lust, mystery, and intrigue that's set in a world of steam-powered transportation and elaborate d cor. Join Lucy and Gabriel as they navigate their way through the danger, conflict, and politics of a modern-day steam driven society.
