Book 1
A Steampunk Fantasy Adventure
The Symbicate is the most feared criminal organisation in the land, and now it’s dying. Rival crime rings, dashing heroes, and scorned freedom fighters close in alongside scores of the world’s deadliest bounty hunters, assassins, and hit men—all flocking to one city to compete for the payday of a lifetime.
Three young adventurers find themselves embroiled in the deadly plot: a Hired Hero out for revenge, a reluctant assassin just trying to survive, and a do-gooder viscount on a quest to save his uncle. Our three hapless heroes are unaware of how intertwined their destinies will be, and strive to complete their quests, even if it means giving up everything they once believed in.
This is a world where the moon is shattered, and the land is inhabited by symbioids—sinewy life-forms that can weave with gadgets or hosts to grant unique abilities. But treachery and mystery abound beneath the surface, and things are never as they seem.
