Embers of a Broken Clockwork Heart

Details

Jenny, a mage whose heart is as frozen as the wintry peaks of Jeora, wields devastating elemental power, a stark contrast to the clanking gears and roaring steam engines of the Mechanist Empire. Raised an orphan amidst the magical resistance, her only solace is the raw, untamed force she commands, believing it her sole defense against a world ravaged by the war between arcane and automaton. When a high-ranking Mechanist officer, notorious for his ruthlessness, captures her, Jenny expects torture or execution. Instead, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of wills, forced to confront the humanity she's long buried. As their worlds collide, she discovers a shared vulnerability beneath the armor and spells, threatening to ignite a forbidden love that could either bridge the chasm of war or consume them both in its fiery aftermath.
