About Of Dreams and Rust
A year after the slaughterhouse collapse, Wen works at a weapons-factory clinic while secretly caring for Bo, the former Ghost, as he transforms himself into a living machine. When she learns the factory’s war machines will be used against Melik’s rebelling Noor people, she journeys into the war zone to warn them. There she finds that brutality has changed Melik, forcing her to decide how much she will sacrifice to save his people.
