Summary
Everett Shao-Astor knows that he's grown up in a difficult world, and that nothing in that world can touch him. Like his family before him, his days are spent linking solar train networks across a post-disaster continent, directing golden machines built on an ugly foundation of human blood and pain. It's something he's rarely forced to think about, until he meets Jonathan.
Jonathan Lem has never known anything except the tenements and factories that produce things high society takes for granted. His one attempt at finding happiness got him sold into weeks of torture, and he swears he'll never get in anyone's debt again. But when Everett's intervention saves him from a brutal industrial accident, he has no choice but to trust him.
As the two grow closer, they get lost in the murky space between classes that were never supposed to touch... let alone do more. No matter how much Everett thinks he can do to protect Jonathan, it might not be enough to break out of the structures that shape both their lives.
