Justice soars above the City of Light.
In the glittering heart of Belle Époque Paris, a revolution of steam and steel is underway. The miraculous Dios Engine — a palm-sized marvel that harnesses unprecedented power — has transformed the City of Light into a beacon of technological innovation. While the crowds marvel, shadows gather in the ornate boardrooms of France's industrial titans.
Elise Alarie, the brilliant mind behind the Dios Engine, stands at the center of this storm. Once an orphan scraping by on the unforgiving streets of Paris, she has risen to become one of the most formidable women in French industry. But her success has painted a target on her back.
Together with trusted allies from her orphanage days, she conceives a plan beyond mere invention: the creation of a mysterious guardian who will soar above the Parisian rooftops on mechanical wings — an unexpected champion for the struggling masses. But as the boundaries between justice and vengeance blur, the question becomes whether their creation can be controlled.
