From the void, you awaken. Not to life, but to the Factory.

Here, darkness breathes. Iron chains bite cold. The air is thick with the ghosts of industry—oil, sweat, and the metallic tang of despair. Towering over all, a gleaming monument to suffering scrapes against a sky that has never known light. You are a number, a shadow, fuel for the machine. Memory is a luxury; survival, a curse.

But even in the deepest hell, a spark can catch.

A soldier’s glance. A whispered word—help. An act that should mean death instead births defiance. Follow Pascal, wrested from oblivion, scarred by the Tower’s secrets, as he becomes an unwilling vessel for the fire. Stand with Mars, pulled from the pyre’s edge, her eyes now burning brighter than the flames meant to consume her. Feel the weight of Hammer’s choice—the tattooed soldier whose compassion ignited the inferno.

Through prose that bleeds onto the page, witness a revolution born not of ideals, but of sheer, visceral necessity. Rusty hammers become extensions of rage. Silent glances forge an unbreakable, desperate bond. They rise—workers, soldiers, even the changed suits—a tide of broken bodies against the crushing weight of Blackshirts and the cold gods enthroned in marble and gold.

If the crushing atmosphere of Hugh Howey’s Wool (Silo Series) met the raw, revolutionary heart of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising, its shadow would fall here. This is a journey etched in grime and desperation, a dark, unrelenting, yet fiercely human struggle against impossible odds.

Freedom is a word they barely dare to dream. What will they sacrifice to grasp its ghost?

Enter the darkness. Witness the uprising. Begin The Factory Saga.
