But machinations run deeper than she realized, and the risks for her and her allies soar ever higher in this kinetic fantasy of rebellion versus oppression.With New Aurora itself at a tipping point, Ula confronts the limits of loyalty and sacrifice central to her crusade. Unimaginable loss haunts her attempts to spark revolution while balancing diplomacy and driving out corruption. If she fails, generations will continue languishing under the Steam Council's dominant rule.
