What it is
A Howl's Moving Castle-inspired science fantasy MM monster romance set in a post-apocalyptic world with giant monsters.
Helios has a knack for survival. All he has ever known is the world after the Rise. He's the product of a ruthless new era. Humanity has been brought down by the old gods who walk the Earth once again. But on the day he's about to be sold into slavery after being captured with a group of nomads, survival comes in the form of a mutant. His savior, Griffin, agrees to take him on board his vessel, the Beetle. The Beetle is a never-before-seen six-legged machine inhabited by a bad-tempered AI.
Helios, seduced by the prospect of doing more than just surviving, will do everything in his power to hold on to this new life. And if staying on the Beetle means spending time with the Devil of the Wastes, so be it.
