The Echoes Beneath

“With an ensemble of characters intertwined in a tale of redemption, power, and betrayal, this gripping saga of dystopian intrigue explores the depths of human depravity, yearning, and resilience… Stunning.” -The Loading Planet

Four lives. Four paths. One inevitable end.

In the corporate-controlled city-state of Midian, the Mantle, a sprawling metal platform, divides the upper echelons from the middle class of the Undercity. Here, the lives of four citizens are inextricably linked in a tale of redemption, power, and betrayal.

Burdened by a haunting past, Atlas Ramsay returns to Midian’s Undercity seeking atonement for his sins. But when a burgeoning relationship with a young woman from his youth derails his plans for redemption, his buried secrets threaten to shake the city’s foundation when they are finally revealed.

Samantha Salem must navigate a complex web of political alliances and rivalries after the murder of her mentor, the famed Undercity leader Jericho Sands. But to preserve the peace and guide the city through its darkest hour, she must endure the wrath of her rivals in her struggle for power.

Arvin, a forsaken child of the Faith, becomes embroiled in a perilous game of survival and revenge. But when his unwitting role in a catastrophic plot to seize control of the city is revealed, nobody is safe from the pain of his loss.

Amidst the unfolding drama, Solomon Sands, Midian’s Grand Magus, battles a waning faith. Consumed by jealousy and a desperate desire for reverence, his attempts to reinvigorate the masses only serve to fuel the shadowy forces pulling the city’s strings.

As their paths collide, a conspiracy unravels, forever altering life beneath the Mantle.
