About Cogs of Legend by Chad Dulac
In a world powered by steam and ruled by corporations, one young woman’s discovery will ignite a revolution.
Alice is a gifted but underappreciated tinkerer working the rail lines of Terra. During an unexpected train malfunction, she uncovers a long-lost ancient artifact buried in a forgotten cave—a fire cog capable of creating heat and light—seemingly from nothing.
Could it be tied to one of the seven primordial Cogs of Legend?
Worse, once the Steele Company learns of the cog’s abilities, they stop at nothing to take it from Alice.
Forced to flee, Alice teams up with her rough-edged mentor Rueger and quick-witted best friend Henry as they race to unravel the mystery of the fire cog. Along the way, Alice must master deadly new lore, survive on a mysterious island, and face truths about her long-lost family and the shadowy history of Terra itself.
But with a host of steam-powered walkers closing in, time is running out. Can Alice unlock the cog’s power before it falls into the wrong hands?
Awakening Fire is Book One in the Cogs of Legend series: a steampunk science-fantasy epic packed with immersive settings, sharp characters, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes adventure.
Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth, Mistborn, and Mortal Engines.
The gears are turning. The spark has been lit. The legend begins.
