The Lioness and the Clockwork Empire

In a world where relentless machines choke the land and humanity teeters on the brink of collapse, one woman rises to defy the Clockwork Empire. Serafina, the last descendant of the Lionesses-an ancient lineage of warrior women bonded to a mystical lion spirit-must embrace her destiny to challenge the Machine Emperor's tyranny. With the Empire's iron grip suffocating the Outlands, Serafina embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery and resistance.
Alongside a rebel leader hardened by loss, a tech-savvy defector seeking redemption, and her brilliant younger brother captured for his knowledge of alternative energy, she must unite a fractured people before the Emperor's final weapon dooms them all. Steeped in rich cultural heritage, The Lioness and the Clockwork Empire is an electrifying blend of steampunk, fantasy, and African mythology, where the battle for survival is not just about weapons, but about reclaiming the soul of a dying world.
In a war between technology and nature, the heart of a lioness may be the last hope for balance, freedom, and revolution. Perfect for fans of Black Panther, Dune, and The Broken Earth Trilogy-this is a story of rebellion, resilience, and the untamed power of a warrior who refuses to bow.
