Overview

Aaren wants a fresh start. What he gets is a new heart. Sixteen-year-old orphan Aaren Lockett leaves his rural hometown and ventures to the metropolis of Rexanberg to start his life afresh as a Tinker. But upon his arrival, he finds trouble when he interferes in a Hoch territory feud, and his life is thrown into immediate peril. When the dust settles, Aaren is no longer who he was before nor is he alone. Given a second chance at life, Aaren embarks on a new mission-tinkering with hearts. Little does he know that his quest to salvage and repair fractured souls will lead him to investigate a dark, chilling conspiracy. Residing within Rexanberg's glittering skyscrapers, someone is performing his own experiment: stitching life into the lifeless. To get to the bottom of this dark mystery, Aaren teams up with intrepid journalist Sasha Loren, who loves all things macabre. Together, they chase down clues as they delve into Rexanberg's seedy underbelly. Can Aaren and Sasha unravel the mystery surrounding this grisly case? Or will they end up a mad scientist's lab rat-or worse-one of the reanimated dead? HEARTSMITH is an exciting romp through an industrial fantasy landscape filled with staple steampunk innovations and a dash of gothic horror. It will keep readers enthralled and guessing throughout its hair-raising twists and turns.
