This is not a once upon a time story
Years ago, seventeen-year-old Apache hunter Lozen and her family lived in a world of haves and have-nots. There were the Onesāpeople so augmented with technology and genetic enhancements that they were barely humanāand there was everyone else who served them.
Then the Cloud came, and everything changed. Tech stopped working. The world plunged back into a new steam age. The Onesā petsāgenetically engineered monstersāturned on them and are now loose on the world.
Fate has given Lozen a unique set of survival skills and magical abilities that she uses to take down monsters for the remaining Ones, who have kidnapped her family.
But with every monster she kills, Lozenās powers grow, and she connects those powers to an ancient legend of her people. It soon becomes clear to Lozen that she is meant to be more than a hired-gun hunter.
Lozen is meant to be a hero.
