In a city where blood is currency and memories are weapons, trust is the deadliest luxury.
Zeit was once a leader - until his rebellion was crushed and his team scattered to the winds. Years of exile have convinced him the fight is over, the fires of resistance cold. But when his old adversary Neal reappears with a chilling declaration that "the final game begins," Zeit is dragged back into a world where the ruling Bloodborns manipulate not just the city's steam-powered machinery but the very blood flowing through its citizens' veins.
Now Zeit must reassemble his broken team to face Major Tian's oppressive regime. Blood-infused coins fuel an empire built on human suffering, and the deeper Zeit delves into the resistance, the more he realizes that everyone - including himself - harbors dangerous secrets.
But reuniting his scattered allies - including Aria, his closest companion, and the enigmatic Alessia - proves nearly impossible when some are missing, others unwilling, and Zeit discovers a devastating truth: there was always a traitor among them. Someone within his inner circle has been sabotaging their plans from the beginning. As fabricated flowers bloom across the city in a twisted display of propaganda, Zeit must navigate not only external enemies but the rot that has always festered within his own ranks.
Set against the backdrop of a dark steampunk world where gears grind with the rhythm of beating hearts and steam carries the scent of spilled blood, this series explores the price of revolution and the weight of buried memories. As Zeit fights to create peace in his city, he must first survive the war within himself -and the betrayals that lurk in every shadow.
Some wounds time cannot heal-broken hearts, shattered promises, crushed revolutions. With this in mind and the pressure of time, how do you find the courage to trust - and love - again?
A dark fantasy series where loyalty is tested, memories are fractured, and the line between hero and enemy blurs like smoke in the industrial night.
