Iron Cadence

Iron Cadence is a dystopian fantasy light novel set in a world powered by the Pulse, an energy that built cities, forged weapons, and turned the CORE PULSE Regime into an empire no one could challenge.

Years after the execution of his father and the death of the girl he loved, Kade Rylan returns to Ironhaven only to find his closest friend, Toren Dax, chained to an execution platform and marked for death by the same regime that took everything from him.

Saving Toren should have been impossible. Instead, it becomes the spark that throws Ironhaven into chaos.

Hunted by Regime forces, drawn into the shadows of rebellion, and surrounded by powers far more dangerous than he ever imagined, Kade is forced into a fight that stretches far beyond one city. As long-buried truths begin to surface and the Pulse itself reveals a darker side, he realizes the world is not as stable as it seems—and neither is he.

In a land of brutal technology, rising insurgents, and impossible strength, Iron Cadence is the story of revenge, survival, and the first fracture in a system built to last forever.
