Steam City Shadows - Charles Eugene Anderson - Bog

In the gritty, divided city of New Aurora, Ula Ikem leads a rebel faction seeking justice against the tyrannical upper-class Steamers who rule with an iron fist. When Ula uncovers a vast conspiracy around hoarded resources, she infiltrates facilities, gathers forbidden intel, and builds an unlikely crew of informants to help expose the government's lies.
Facing off against ruthless leaders like Tribune Jamuike, who wield experimental weapons and limitless authority, Ula resorts to bold heists and rallies public dissent through daring broadcasts. But machinations run deeper than she realized, and the risks for her and her allies soar ever higher in this kinetic fantasy of rebellion versus oppression.
With New Aurora itself at a tipping point, Ula confronts the limits of loyalty and sacrifice central to her crusade. Unimaginable loss haunts her attempts to spark revolution while balancing diplomacy and driving out corruption. If she fails, generations will continue languishing under the Steam Council's dominant rule. But exposing the shocking truth could cost Ula everything-or help transform their society forever through cooperation across bitter divides.
