This novel weaves a dark and complex tale set in a world where faerie and technology intertwine. It follows the story of Jane, a human girl enslaved in a factory that produces iron dragons, war machines used to maintain power within this fantastical realm. Her journey of escape and quest for identity is fraught with challenges, betrayals, and the harsh realities of a society built on exploitation and magic. As Jane forms alliances with various characters, including a seductive dragon, she navigates through a series of life-changing adventures that question the nature of freedom, the price of ambition, and the essence of humanity itself. This narrative masterfully blends elements of fantasy, science fiction, and dark folklore to explore themes of industrialization, social injustice, and personal transformation.
