π SUMMARY
Briar is dangerous. He's a Pather who can manipulate emotions, and he can never live like everyone else. He accepts that.
Until he meets the War Machines.
The squad of military androids is so human-like that Briar can feel their thoughts the same way he can feel a personβs. Not more so than their programming, however: the War Machines are built to kill. To protect. And above all, to obey.
Briar canβt fix them the way his father could. Heβs no Engineer. But he can harness the blood-deep and incredibly strange power of his abilities, forcing himself and the androids into a world far different than the one theyβre built forβa world where magic-enhancing crystals, glowing artifacts, and giant monsters are commonplace.
Survival doesnβt come easy. All Briar and the War Machines can do is change, adapt, respect themselves and each otherβ¦
and accept that not everyone will make it through.
