As the Gearkeeper, Onja keeps the city alive. Any slip, someone dies. But what happens when her machines that run the city start to have minds of their own?
While the chancellor and her league of petty politicians try to calm the panicked crowds, Onja's been quiet her whole life, but never blind. Something lives in these machines, something they're hiding and willing to sacrifice for. Something sinister that sings deep within the leaky pipes, valves, and grinding gears—deep below the city.
