Steampunks: Fractured

by B.E. Farnell

“So here you are, after a decade of lingering in the heavens, looking down on us, watching your precious blue green marble turn brown… Meanwhile, we’ve been down here, left to choke to death in dust storms while the world around us ripped apart and floated away. Maybe you didn’t expect any of us to survive? Maybe you looked down here and all you could see was those damned Fractures blotting out the sky. Or maybe you couldn’t get a solid glimpse through the Steam. Did you think after so many years, you’d just come down here and sweep us away? We’ve got Ember for hearts and rust in our bones now. We’re still here, Captain. Like I said, the Steam wouldn’t have it any other way.” ~ Lincoln Daniel Edwards Three siblings are orphaned and buried alive in the aftermath of the largest meteor storm in the history of mankind. Against all odds, they are rescued by a grumbling old recluse and his curious mule companion. Led across an ever changing countryside, they brave a dangerous new world in race to find sanctuary from the destructive forces that have stripped civilization of the one thing that, for centuries, has held it up. Relive the tale through the eyes of Lincoln, an impassioned older brother committed to keeping his family together at all cost. Driven from the comfort of a life they forged in solitude, they embark on a journey where destiny sends his sisters down the paths of good and evil. As their lives are pulled apart, Lincoln’s fate hangs in the balance, as he is forced to make decisions that will forever change the course of his life. The Steampunk genre is brought to life in this modern day epic. Embark on a journey, alongside Lincoln, Abigail and Kara as their lives become intertwined in the birth of the Clockwork Era. Witness our once familiar world fade away only to emerge in the warmth of polished wood, copper and bronze.
