About Of Metal and Wishes
Sixteen-year-old Wen works beside her father in a clinic inside a brutal industrial slaughterhouse, where oppressed Noor labourers whisper about a ghost who grants wishes. When an impulsive wish is answered with violence, Wen is consumed by guilt and drawn to both Melik, the workers’ outspoken leader, and the mysterious ghost. As deadly accidents ignite unrest, she must decide whom to trust before protection becomes possession.
