The Asunder Chronicles

By Teron Lydale James II

Arthur Penhaligon is a mender of broken things. In the grimy, gaslit streets of Gilded Age New York, he desires nothing more than a quiet life, using his secret magical gifts to fix clocks and soothe the city's groaning machinery. But when a malicious green fire erupts at the half-finished Brooklyn Bridge, Arthur is dragged from the shadows into the public eye.

His desperate act of heroism catches the attention of Eleanor Vance, a sharp-witted journalist with secrets of her own, who sees more than just a miracle-she sees a conspiracy. Together, they discover that the attack is just the first move in a war against the city itself, orchestrated by a shadowy industrialist with a god complex and waged by a violent cult called the Broken Gears.

As they are pulled deeper into a web of corruption that connects the city's gilded elite to its darkest alleys, Arthur must choose between the quiet life he craves and the monstrous power he must unleash to protect the innocent. But in a city where progress is powered by secrets and souls, becoming a hero might mean becoming the very thing he fights against.
