Magic broke the world once. A dead empire reached too far, tore something in the sky that never healed, and sent civilization back to the dark ages. Eons later, the scar remains, along with the monsters that came through it. A modern military officer opens his eyes in a ditch, in a dead man's body, in a region the kingdom uses as a dumping ground for its problems. He inherits a gutted city, a corrupt garrison, flooded mines, and a woman who can bend gravity with her bare hands. He also possesses something this world has never seen: knowledge of the industrial revolution that never happened here. The officer who was dumped in the Badlands decides that the revolution will happen now. As he rebuilds the city from nothing, confronts the corrupt forces that control the region, and introduces technologies that reshape the balance of power, the military officer discovers that the magic-scarred world is not just broken -- it is waiting for someone bold enough to fix it. The iron revolution begins with one man and a vision that this world has never imagined.
