When death gives you a second chance, your first look defines your fate. In a fractured empire teetering between steam-age war and medieval brutality, the dead rise as Strangers—reborn without memories but with powers shaped by their first sight. Platt awakens on a blood-soaked train with a metal arm and a whisper in his head that promises power… or madness. As nightmares surge from the North and noble factions wage quiet wars, Platt is caught between his duty and the voice that just might want to consume him.
