Millbrook
In a town that takes everything, she refused to give up.
The trade was Martha’s life for her children’s survival. By working in the uncanny, prosperous mill of Millbrook, she can send home enough silver to build a fortress around her family in Batesville. But the price of that silver is her own flesh.
As a terrifying entity weaves itself into her veins, turning her into a silent gear in a biological machine, Martha wages a quiet, desperate war. She isn't fighting for her life—she is fighting for her memories. She is fighting to remember the way Carrick draws, the sound of the younger ones’ laughter, and the weight of a child’s hand in hers.
When the events of The Ironbound finally reach the gates of Millbrook, Martha is faced with a final, devastating choice. Even as the wires take the last of her, she will find a way to look at her son one last time—not as a puppet of the machine, but as a mother who never truly left him.
