Produktbeschreibung

Under a perpetually twilit copper sun, the Ferris Wheel Monarchy reigns. Within a colossal dome, the rhythmic churn of massive gears dictates life itself, from the manufactured breaths of wind to the precisely timed rainfall.  In this meticulously controlled world, Elara Grenther, a gifted mechanic toiling in the city's grimy underbelly, finds solace in the language of metal and steam.  Her hands, calloused but deft, coax life back into discarded machines, a skill honed by necessity and an insatiable curiosity. But her latest discovery-a hidden blueprint depicting a revolutionary energy system-will shatter the city's delicate balance and set her on a collision course with the ruling elite. The blueprint, brittle with age, whispers of harnessing the untapped power of wind and pneumatic technology-heresy in a city where the cult of the gear reigns supreme.  Elara's quest to decipher its secrets unearths a truth more unsettling than she could have imagined: the gears are decaying, the city is on the brink of collapse, and the copper sun casts a sickly glow on a kingdom built on lies.  Simultaneously, in the gilded cages of the upper city, Prince Rhysand Vex, a rebellious and ostracized royal, yearns to dismantle the oppressive system that binds his people. Drawn to whispers of Elara's discovery, he sees in her not just a solution, but a means to seize the throne.  He offers an alliance, promising a new dawn powered by the very technology the monarchy suppressed.  But Rhysand's vision of a new order masks a darker ambition, one that mirrors the ruthlessness he claims to despise. Caught between a dying monarchy and a prince's seductive promises, Elara must navigate a web of deceit and conflicting loyalties.  Her dilemma intensifies with the shocking revelation that her adoptive father, Zephyr, the city's revered Chief Engineer, is the blueprint's true architect.  He reveals a chilling secret: the dome isn't a symbol of innovation, but a shield against a forgotten war raging in the skies above, a war that threatens to breach their fragile sanctuary. As the gears grind towards a standstill and Rhysand's orchestrated rebellion ignites, Elara must make an impossible choice.  Will she aid Rhysand's power grab, risking the very freedom she craves? Or will she uphold a decaying system, perpetuating the cycle of oppression?  Her decision will determine not only the fate of the city but the future of humanity itself, trapped beneath a dome of lies, yearning for a glimpse of the stars.
