Smoke & Brass

By D.J.H McAtee

In Brassendell, the city never sleeps - it chews. Smoke clogs the lungs, bourbon burns in brass cages, and the Rail Spine screams through the basin like an iron artery that never tires.

Lucy, a soot-orphan with sparks under her nails, is building wings from scraps and defiance. Taylah, the fire-queen of the Ember Vale, rules her tavern with bourbon law: no blood unless she says so. Melanie, the porcelain-masked broker, deals in whispers sharp enough to cut. And Veythar, the Gentleman - ledger-man and hunter of truths - walks debts others won't even name.

When a spark meant to rise instead burns Lucy to the bone, rumours crown her Phoenix-girl. From that ember grows a rebellion that will set Brassendell ablaze - testing every oath, breaking every code, and crowning new queens in smoke and fire.

Smoke & Brass is a western-steampunk fantasy of rebellion and survival, where loyalty is measured in scars and the only law left is the one you write in blood.
