In an empire where technology is the new magic, a disgraced noble’s son is cast to the bottom. Branded a pariah and living under a death sentence from a shadowy imperial agency, his only hope for survival lies hidden in forbidden knowledge. While serving his sentence, he secretly masters the forgotten art of artifice, turning gears and schematics into instruments of power and vengeance. Every invention is a defiance, every blueprint a step toward the truth behind his family's ruin. To reclaim his name, he must navigate a treacherous court of spies and assassins, proving that in a world of political schemes and looming war, a single brilliant mind can forge a new era and bring an empire to its knees.
