Publisher's summary

The world has changed. Gone are the old gods. Nature withers and dies beneath the growing bane of machines and industry. Desperate to prevent their world from dying, citizens turn to science and sprawling cities of steam ruled by the Imperium. Kaimo de Morté has never known another life. He is an optometrist by trade but too poor to open an optical boutique. Forced to work in the mines, Kaimo has no idea how his life is about to change. A chance encounter with insurgents thrusts him into a battle for the very future of mankind. One he is ill prepared to fight. Kaimo uncovers hidden truths, forms alliances stretching to the highest halls of power, and becomes the catalyst for either saving the world or watching it end.

A Surprisingly Good Steampunk Adventure

This book combines steampunk, fantasy, and sci-fi in a way that feels fresh and exciting. The story centers on Kaimo de Morté, a regular optometrist who finds himself stuck working in harsh conditions because he can’t afford to open his own practice.

His mundane life takes a dramatic turn when he gets mixed up with rebels and a powerful artifact, setting off a thrilling adventure.

The world Centeno has built is something else—imagine cities powered by steam, flying ships, and a world on the edge, all vividly brought to life. The audiobook, narrated by two voices, adds extra depth, making every plot twist even more engaging.

Kaimo’s transformation from an ordinary guy to a reluctant hero is full of unexpected twists and thought-provoking moments about survival and power.

If you’re up for a gripping adventure with a steampunk flair and a bit of magic, this book is a must-read. The world-building is solid and it’s an exhilarating journey that’s hard to put down!
