Falls the Shadow

Steampunk (steem-punk), adj., n. a genre of fiction generally set in an alternate, 1800s-era universe, portraying an often dystopian society with Jules Verne/ H.G. Wells-esque technology. Gears and lace in equal proportion. Airships and/or dirigibles in abundance. “Science fiction as written in the days of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, but with a little extra attitude.”

Imagine a world where traditional learning has been largely abandoned. You need not read or listen in class—all you need to know is directly uploaded to your brain.

And then imagine a computer virus that damaged this system beyond repair.

Who would you side with in a world that teeters on the brink of war and disaster?

The White Tiger: a group of rich and connected foreigners who promise to bring peace to a suddenly unstable world?

Or perhaps the College, headed up by a man known only as the Professor, who works behind the scenes to repair the lost world?

Or, if you can find it, the Library, where all the knowledge rejected by the pre-disaster world has been horded and protected—until now?

Make your choice and join the adventure, coming soon to The Lost Scribes.

Falls the Darkness is a multi-author project, committed to bringing the neglected genre of steampunk under the Christian lens. Keep an eye out here, here, and here for updates!
