Dream Forge is a literary dystopian fable about a city that tries to perfect itself through tidy rules, uniform protocols, and spotless systems-until those very systems begin to forget the people they were built for. Beneath the shining placard PUBLIC MERCY DEVICE, every room believes it is doing good. Clinics, markets, archives, courthouses, schoolhouses, and waterworks all follow immaculate procedures.

Dream Forge is a literary dystopian fable about a city that tries to perfect itself through tidy rules, uniform protocols, and spotless systems-until those very systems begin to forget the people they were built for. Beneath the shining placard PUBLIC MERCY DEVICE, every room believes it is doing good. Clinics, markets, archives, courthouses, schoolhouses, and waterworks all follow immaculate procedures. They get almost everything right-except the living.
At the center of the story is Ilyra, a smith who listens to rooms the way others listen to weather. Together with a small crew of listeners, clerks, knotmakers, and quiet craftsmen, she travels from room to room asking a single practical question: Where does this place most want to be decent-and is wrong?
Their interventions are small and deliberate. A chair turned outward. A shelf between trash and tool. A cup hung beside the tap. Witness beads placed at forearm height so a hand can ask for company before a decision. Three breath-marks-··- -to slow haste before it turns into harm. These adjustments are physical, moral, and deeply human. They do not dismantle systems; they remind them to breathe.
The tension comes from the hush-a soft, persuasive hunger for neatness, punctuality, and purity. It isn't evil. It's the part of us that wants order so badly it forgets kindness. Ilyra's crew doesn't banish it; they embarrass it gently, making space for consent, witnesses, and room to fail honestly.
Each chapter focuses on a single civic room and follows a simple rhythm: Call the problem by its true name. Answer with something visible and repeatable. Carry the practice into the next room. Leave behind tools so the room stays decent without supervision.
Dream Forge blends atmospheric world-building, philosophical reflection, and precise, humane design. It is a novel built from hardware and habits, from hooks and beads and breath marks-objects that insist on remembering the person in the room. It's not an argument against rules; it's a reminder that rules must be able to blush.
For readers who enjoy literary dystopia, civic imagination, speculative fiction, and stories where small acts of decency reshape entire cities, Dream Forge offers a world where mercy is engineered, competence is a craft, and quiet adjustments can keep a city human.
A book to be borrowed, carried, and used-one small change at a time.
