Before she was a ghost on a salt road with no name, she was the woman who burned a city.

The world remembers her as the Saint of Ash. Ilyra remembers almost nothing: only fragments of a breathing cockpit, white rooms where strangers spoke over her, a kitchen warm with steam, and a seven-beat song she can’t quite hear. When a caravan witch drags her back from the brink and a grim griffon rider notices the machine-scars at her neck, the quiet life she might have had ends before it begins.

Rumors say there are engines under the mountains that think in hymns and iron. Rumors say there was once a war so terrible that the winning side agreed to forget it. Whatever Ilyra is, whatever was done to her, those rumors cling to her shadow—and something in the dark has finally started to pull on the thread.

Hurled from cliff-top eyries to ash-snow rail lines, through foundry slums and storm-lashed archives, Ilyra gathers unlikely allies: a soot-stained graft-smith with blood on his patents, a dissident nun who refuses to let souls be counted as stock, a scholar whose city lives on curated truth. With them, she must decide whether mercy means leaving the past buried…or daring to drag it into the light.

WITNESS AGAINST THE MACHINE is a grimdark, character-driven fantasy of saints and war hulks, relics and memory-work, where cities run on grief and gears, and one broken woman is asked to become the witness the world would rather live without. Action & Adventure Fantasy War

Not only is it read by AI very poorly, the story itself I truly believe was written by chat GPT and is very boring and not interesting.
