Produktbeschreibung

In the smog-choked city of Caelus, faith is forged in steel and steam. Towering Faith Engines, monuments of brass and copper, dictate every facet of life, their rhythmic clangor a constant hymn to the mechanical gods. But beneath the city's surface, a forgotten truth lies dormant, waiting to shatter the city's carefully constructed reality. Anya Renwick, a former priestess, unearths a forbidden Engine, its elegant design whispering of a time before the smog, before the Order of the Cog's iron grip. Her discovery ignites a dangerous curiosity, a thirst for a truth the Order will stop at nothing to conceal. Branded a heretic, Anya finds an unlikely ally in Silas Finch, a brilliant, ostracized tinkerer whose unauthorized enhancements to the Engines have earned him the Order's wrath. Their alliance is further strengthened by Elara Vance, a young woman who hears the Engines' whispers, a symphony of metallic voices revealing Caelus's hidden history.

Together, they navigate the treacherous underbelly of Caelus, uncovering a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. The Engines, once symbols of salvation, are revealed to be instruments of control, remnants of a devastating war known as the Shattering, a catastrophe orchestrated by the Order's founders to solidify their dominion. Hunted by the Order's cyborg enforcers, the Cogsmiths, Anya, Silas, and Elara must race against time to expose the truth. Their quest becomes a fight for Caelus's soul, a desperate struggle to reclaim a future stolen by manufactured faith. As riots erupt and the city teeters on the brink of collapse, they discover the ancient Engine holds the key to restoring Caelus's natural energy source, a power long suppressed by the Order. In a climactic showdown within the Grand Cathedral, Anya confronts High Executor Thorne, the Order's austere leader. Silas, guided by Elara's connection to the machines, activates the ancient Engine, plunging the city into darkness, but igniting a new hope. The ensuing battle is not just for control of Caelus, but for the very essence of faith itself. Can a city built on mechanical devotion embrace a future free from the Order's grasp? The fate of Caelus rests on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes, their courage the spark that could ignite a revolution and reshape a world forged in steam and shadows.
