Blurb
A soldier in service to her city, ruled by gods. A hundred-year stalemate with the colossi that roam beyond the walls. An attack that leaves her body broken beyond repair.
Captain Alcippe is favoured by Lords Ares and Aphrodite, and so her fall atop Wall Caryatid is met with an offer for a second chance: to shed her flesh and become one with the talos, a machine-body perfect to pilot the Handmaiden battle armour, capable of slaying giants. A perfect weapon in her lords’ hands.
But machinery is unfeeling. In this new body, Alcippe must relearn what it means to be alive — or else accept that living is no longer within her reach..[1]
