Then one day, my mother publicly cursed whoever had framed me, saying they would “go blind and have their legs broken.” The next morning, on the red carpet at a ball, Seraphina’s eyes bled and both her legs snapped.

Centuries after the extinction of human civilization — perhaps even longer — Earth no longer belongs to humankind. The once-thriving cities have crumbled into ruins, skyscrapers swallowed by yellow sand, steel forests reduced to derelict remnants where mechanical life now roosts. Football stadiums, subway tunnels, factories, city squares — the relics of human civilization still lie scattered across the world like the last embers left behind after a great fire, silently bearing witness to an era that no one remembers anymore.

Yet the vast majority of them have no idea what "humans" ever were — let alone why they themselves came into existence. The world has entered a new epoch of mechanical civilization. And this age would later be known as:After the Embers
