About This Book

Kortha, a powerful but guilt-haunted smith on Mars, isolates himself while a mysterious engine—key to wealth and power—becomes the focus of rival factions. Political scheming led by the ambitious Guantra endangers the planet as allies press Kortha to return and use his strength and ingenuity to prevent domination. Torn between desire for solitude and duty, he pursues secrets in a ruined city and confronts moral and physical tests while competing groups fight and plot to unlock the machine's secret and control Mars's future.
