In the 'Era of Magical Machines,' where steam-powered wonders meet nascent magical engineering, Christian, a cold and exceptionally skilled magical engineer, finds his quiet world upended. Though he can repair the most intricate magical devices, he's unable to mend the growing chasm between him and the enigmatic heir from a ruling family who suddenly demands his expertise - and perhaps more. Born into a divided society where wealth dictates power, Christian grapples with a one-sided love he can't vocalize and a contract that binds him to the very person he adores yet distrusts. As he delves deeper into the lavish, gothic world of the elite, he uncovers not just the secrets of advanced magical tech, but the painful truths of his own heart, caught in a web of misunderstandings and a love he fears is utterly, unfairly, unrequited. His journey will force him to confront the vulnerability he so fiercely guards.
