Iron Veins

Beneath the Tracks, a Deadly Secret Awakens

By: Rock Carrigan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Beneath the empire’s polished rails, something ancient stirs—and it’s hungry for more than steam.

Disgraced inspector Alaric Voss thought exile had ended his days chasing ghosts. But when a train vanishes without a trace on the Trans-Etherian Line, he’s summoned to the frontier town of Ketter’s Gate. There, he finds a town gripped by fear, an engineer with fire in her veins, and whispers of a conspiracy buried deep in the steel bones of the empire.

Riona Flint, brilliant and wary, is searching for her missing father—the chief architect of the railway—and the secrets he left behind. Together, Alaric and Riona uncover a terrifying truth: a living engine, built from forbidden etherium and twisted metal, is gaining sentience. And it's been unleashed by a secret society known only as the Iron Cabal.

As sabotage ignites rebellion across the provinces, Alaric and Riona must navigate ghost trains, sentient machines, and treacherous allies to stop a war that could tear the empire apart. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize—this battle isn’t just for survival. It's for the soul of a world powered by ambition, deception, and gears soaked in blood.

The rails are awakening. The engines remember.

And the war for the empire has only begun.

Perfect for fans of immersive steampunk worlds, relentless suspense, and high-stakes conspiracies, Iron Veins launches a breathtaking new series where loyalty is tested, love is forged in fire, and every whistle in the night might be your last.
