Requirements: ePUB / MOBI / AZW3 Reader, 1.1 MB
Overview: The Fire Cage is a Victoriana steampunk story set in the capitol city of Agora, the shining jewel of the Brass Empire. Our hero is Davin, a young man who grew up working in the factories that dominate the Empire’s seat of industry. While born the son of a humble washer-woman, Davin has a secret to keep—he is the bastard son of the failed gambler, Vincent zan DeLorenzo, and the grandson of the famed automaton inventor, Mercuri. Davin’s grandfather, known throughout the world for his ingenious inventions, was responsible for creating the marvelous technology that allow giant steam-powered robots to be controlled by the power of human song.
Davin’s trouble is that he is turning eighteen in two days and his last chance to purchase his dead father’s noble title for his own will soon expire. But the same day that he is in a gambling house, trying to turn a year of factory wages into a fortune that he could use to buy title to his family line, an unknown assassin kills his mother and his best friend and sends Davin running for his life.
Left with nowhere else to turn, Davin is forced to negotiate with Rajon zan Cagliostri, the man he holds personally responsible for driving his father to a pauper’s grave. Soon, Davin, Rajon and Rajon’s odd daughter-by-law, Verona, begin to untangle the decade-old mystery surrounding Mercuri’s past. But the closer they get to find the truth, the more determined the conspirators become, until Davin and his friends are navigating a gauntlet of serpents, thieves, traps and assassins laid before them with terrible intent!
