Some machines break.
Others make bargains.

Joren Vale can hear the hidden rules inside broken machines. With the touch of his tuning fork, he can mend what no one else understands.

But every repair takes something irreplaceable: the color of his mother’s eyes. The reason a certain song makes him grieve. The moment he first trusted the woman beside him.

Now Bellhaven’s ancient engine is waking—and the city’s rulers are ready to sacrifice choice itself to keep it alive.

“
The gate asks for only one thing in return: the memory of the woman he loves.

A sleeping engine.
