Gearforged: Undercity Scars

Once the undefeated champion of Anthracite’s celebrated boxing rings, Jasper’s glory days ended the moment he defied his corporate masters. Beaten, broken, and near rust bottom, he survives in the smog-choked slums of the Undercity, numbing his pain with drugs and dodging the ghosts of his past. But when he stumbles upon a silver orb discarded in The Undercity refuse, Jasper unknowingly falls into a world where the stakes are higher than he could imagine.Sought by corrupt barons above and restless revolutionaries below, the orb proves to be more than an ordinary trinket. Jasper’s beloved Trixie, a charm-runner, and Cid, a disgraced engineer, help to uncover its dark secrets. Ensnared in murderous corporate conspiracies, they are hunted by assassins, thugs, and underworld factions with deadly agendas.In a world where loyalty is rare and betrayal is currency, Jasper’s struggle to protect the one person he loves means gambling away the city’s best hope for liberation.
