All they know is war…

On the planet Machina, a vicious war wages between the nation of Freeram and the Diodian Empire. Hundreds die every day, in a stalemate that has lasted thousands of years. Smoke and dust blot out the sun, whilst battlegrounds are reduced to sand amidst great dunes of discarded machine bodies. Machinekind faces certain extinction.

A deserter, a priest, and the final, defective, machine set out on a hopeless quest to cross No Machine’s Land. Even if they make it, can they bring the war to an end once and for all?

As hopeful as it is harrowing, in Machina Fantasia, Nathan Philpott weaves a compelling tale of a conflict without end, featuring action, adventure and existential crises.
