The Mechanism of the Sky

About this book

In the walled kingdom of Lys, society is built on a myth: the world is a jeweled bowl cradled by the Moon-Witch, and the sky is her cloaked ceiling of storms. Knights sing oaths to placate cloud-spirits and ensure the harvest. But when a routine ritual goes wrong, a knight uncovers a terrifying truth: their magical world is actually a decaying, colossal generation ship adrift in deep space. The "cloud-spirits" are malfunctioning atmospheric drones, and the "Moon-Witch" is the ship's failing central artificial intelligence. Forced into exile by a theocratic leadership desperate to maintain control, the knight must journey into the forbidden metallic underbelly of their world to reset the ancient machinery before the life-support systems fail entirely, bridging the gap between forgotten science and religious dogma to save humanity from silent extinction.
