Fantasy | Fantasy Steampunk
A fantastical reimagining of the American
West which draws its influence from steampunk, the American
western tradition, and magical realism The world
is only half made. What exists has been carved out amidst a
war between two rival factions: the Line, paving the world
with industry and claiming its residents as slaves; and the
Gun, a cult of terror and violence that cripples the
population with fear. The only hope at stopping them has
seemingly disappeared—the Red Republic that once battled the
Gun and the Line, and almost won. Now they’re just a myth, a
bedtime story parents tell their children, of hope.
To the west lies a vast, uncharted world, inhabited
only by the legends of the immortal and powerful Hill
People, who live at one with the earth and its elements. Liv
Alverhyusen, a doctor of the new science of psychology,
travels to the edge of the made world to a spiritually
protected mental institution in order to study the minds of
those broken by the Gun and the Line. In its rooms lies an
old general of the Red Republic, a man whose shattered mind
just may hold the secret to stopping the Gun and the Line.
And either side will do anything to understand how.
