Epic of Gilgamesh meets Transformers!
Nua is a malnourished street rat from the Overlord's Mercy. Scavenging the junkyard for the scraps of wartime magitech goliaths, she stumbles upon an ancient amulet and finds a sentient entity dwelling within.
Then, her life turns on its head.
The king of an Empire long dead wants to bring back its forgotten greatness. And no one else is around to carry out his ambitions other than Nua herself.
With the guidance of the vengeful ghost from the past, will she lead her people to glory? What price is she willing to pay for the power?

Tentative schedule is Mondays.

Due to policy updates, I've changed warning tags since they seem to be much stricter.
While this novel contains fight scenes that end up in bloodshed, death or injury and a hefty dose of gritty realism (including an opressed ethnic minority), it does not contain on-screen gore, torture or sexual abuse. As fantasy goes, it is grittier than Tolkien but milder than GRRM.
