From publisher blurb:
The air reeks of ozone and burning metal, a battlefield frozen in the grim silence of aftermath. Your mech stands motionless, hydraulic pistons hissing as it cools, its servos twitching in the absence of a foe. Across the desolate cityscape, smoke curls into the crimson twilight, and amidst the ruins, a single transmission crackles through your comms—coded, urgent, and worth more than your life. War is not waged with bullets alone. The greatest battles are fought in whispers, in backroom deals where steel-clad mercenaries are mere pieces upon a grander board. Someone has pulled the strings too hard, tangled the wrong web, and now the mercenary factions of the outer colonies are caught in a storm of deceit. What begins as a routine contract spirals into something far deadlier, and you are left to navigate a battlefield of shifting alliances, colossal mechs, and whispered betrayals.
