COME VISIT WROTDAM IN INK FOR BLOOD
The Machine gives.
The Machine protects.
The Machine lies.
A hundred years ago, the Great Machine rose from the sea and lumbered onto the English coastline. Now it's a part of daily life for the people of Wrotdam as they use the Ink dripping from its chassis to power their city, develop wondrous inventions, and protect themselves from the sludge-like Mire that mindlessly seeks to infect them.
On the eve of the Machine's centennial, a young woman comes to Wrotdam claiming the Mire is becoming intelligent and seeks to feed her village of Dawnhallow to an apparatus of grinding teeth and black smoke. Shunned and belittled, she finds help with the most unlikely sorts.
A cleric, a sawbones, a thief, a magician, a leech, a cursed, and a fallen.
Armed with fantastic weaponry and abilities, they just might survive the fight — if they don't kill each other first.

The City. The Cradle. The Pit.
The Tower. The Vale.
Gaul only wanted to get his necklace back from the priest, the last reminder of his wife. Marta only wanted to find her brother, one who left her behind to travel beyond the forest. Simple desires give way to startling revelations as the pair journeys through the former lands of Adathin, a kingdom built upon the spot the First Gods were imprisoned and sent to slumber. Only, the Gods are now stirring, an otherworldly substance seeps through the dirt, and Marta's return to the City of Revels sets off schemes, betrayal, and a search for a divine power source. Gaul and Marta must learn to trust each other as it's only them—and the road forward.
Corporate Espionage. Cults. Faeries.
It’s 2133, and Earth has rebuilt after a global catastrophe.
Megacities, wireless tech, and augmented humans are all commonplace. What isn’t common, is Kraft. Kraft sees monsters. This tends to get him in trouble, especially when the rest of the world doesn’t believe they exist. For Kraft, even an easy job like cleaning a corporation’s computer system involves a dark cult, a battle with faeries, and a computer virus that reaches into the real world.
