I survive on grit, scraps, and the refusal to die.
Beyond the city walls, the world is ash and ruin. Storms hunt the living. So do worse things. Things like him.

Silent. Part man – part machine. Deadly.

He chains me up and drops me into a world where obedience is currency and flesh is owned.

But I’ve fixed machines tougher than him. And I see the cracks in his code.

If I play this right, I might escape.

If I don’t, I won’t just be trapped underground – I’ll be a keepsake.

And the worst part?
Some twisted part of me wants that.

Reviews

5/5 stars
"I was absolutely glued to this book, as soon as I started, if I didn't have to work I wouldn't have put it down! it was incredible, loved it. 5* for me. the spice? when it spices - it SPICESSSS!"

5/5 stars
"The suspense is Wild. I devoured it in two days because N. von Wolf does not hold back with the twists. Every time I thought I knew what was coming: boom, curveball...
...If you’re into dark, twisty reads where everyone is a little bit broken and the stakes are high you’ll eat this up."
