Moonless Realm

The night sky in Helendia is starless. Three hundred years ago, the stars fell. There are only two moons left in the sky: one is nailed to the top of the sky, neither rising nor setting; the other is wandering along the horizon, dark red like rust. People learned not to look at the sky - a steam engine was more reliable than moonlight, a furnace more effective than prayer. Lars Walder is fifteen years old. He has a dagger, a letter from his mother, and a sister holding the corner of his clothes. He doesn't know how to repair machines, and he doesn't know who his father is. He only knows that he needs three things to survive: a wrench, an iron door, and someone who doesn't ask why. Later, Luomei Town was burned down. After crawling out of the ashes, he headed north. To the north is the Iron Crown King's empire - the territory of steam mechas, the coldest and hardest country on the entire continent. There, the mother's letter hides the secret of a mecha, the blood of the Iron Crown flows in his veins, and deep underground, something that has been silent for three hundred years is awakening. The moon in the sky is getting closer and closer. This is the story of a man who fixes things. Repair the machine, repair the broken dynasty, repair the order crushed by war - and finally, repair the fallen starry sky. "Don't leave me waiting alone next time." "I'll go with you."
