The Foundation of Smoke and Steel : Volume 3
War is coming—and this time, the Empire won’t be ready.
Ethan Zhou’s revolutionary Framework has begun to change how soldiers fight, how mana flows, how entire nations prepare for war. But innovation has a cost—and while Ethan builds the future, shadows from the past stir once more.
Across the Empire, alliances fracture and new powers rise. Princess Sophie Virelyn’s Insight pulls her toward an ancient shrine—the Gate of the Moon Goddess—where the fate of divine metal and mortal ambition collide. Vivian Li, the Crane of House Li, must face her own heart as old loyalties and new desires threaten to unravel the fragile peace she’s built.
Far to the south, the Iron Tide of the orcs moves again. And in the dark between worlds, something older than demons has begun to remember.
Legends will awaken. Secrets will burn. And the next war for the soul of the Empire will begin.
