Two thousand years after the fall of the ancient regime, the world is divided into various city-states, each striving through advances in science and engineering to reclaim the greatness once held by civilizations blessed with magic and alchemy. Alex, a young woman from the slums of Ironforge —a sprawling subterranean citadel— survives day by day by taking on all sorts of illegal jobs through her business, Ironfist Solutions. Her only goal is to make enough money to cover the high fees for the hospital where her grandmother is cared for. However, destiny’s hand stirs the waters of her world, leading her to cross paths with Selene, the only sister of Senator Verethis Thalorian of the imposing city of Atlas, and the fiancée of the son of Ironforge's Commander-in-Chief She never should have accepted that necklace… Or at least, that was what Alex kept telling herself in a miserable, desperate attempt to avoid facing the fact that, for the first time in her life, there was something that truly mattered to her.
