In the Arcane-Industrial Empire of Voldrath, progress is powered by unstable magic and ruthless ambition. Beneath the polished steel and glowing engines lies a fractured society—where corporations, cults, and criminals fight for control of the most dangerous resource of all: Arcane augmentation. Leiger Rosewood is a disgraced Sentinel operative with a name that once commanded respect. Her father’s betrayal left her branded, mistrusted, and stuck patrolling the slums of West Station—the Graveyard Shift. But when a dying Apex Augury collapses in front of her, Leiger makes a desperate choice: to form a forbidden soul link with Folgren, the infamous Kinetic Sovereign. Now bound to a war criminal whispered about in ghost stories, Leiger gains access to powers she barely understands—and secrets that could unravel the empire. With Folgren’s enemies circling and corruption spreading from the heart of the Arcane Board itself, Leiger must decide: will she use this power to restore her family’s honor, or burn the system down entirely? As the abyss calls and strange energies stir in the deep, one thing is clear—Leiger’s no longer just another Sentinel. She’s the wildcard in a collapsing empire.
