The Tree That Grew Through Iron by McKenzie Austin

She was the blood of the land.
But not unlike all the old-world legends, they were nowhere to be found.

Centuries later, industrial advancements separated mankind from their need for gods. It also eviscerated the land.

“Do not let them know. Control the chaos. Keep them safe.”
Nicholai Addihein followed this advice from Panagea’s elder division leaders since he took up control of Southeastern. But maintaining the illusion that all is well gets harder to accomplish.

Then, it happened. One decision. For Nicholai’s unexpected act of treason, Panagea decays faster. Millions are dead and the division leaders want his head.

After landing in the company of the fabled Captain Kazuaki Hidataka and his crew of societal rejects, Nicholai discovers her: Umbriel, the key to Panagea’s salvation. But if history rejected her for a reason before, will her return do more harm than good?
