Echoes of Iron

A Daughters of Iron Short Story

The Daughters of Iron trade neon cities for the red zone, where the dust storms hide more than just the sun.

Ava, Maggie, and Jess—the elite mercenaries known as the Daughters of Iron—are dispatched straight from a rain-soaked Singapore to the sweltering South American Dust Belt. Their mission: intercept a rogue Kestrel Dynamics convoy and secure its highly sensitive cargo.

The intel is incomplete. The terrain is lethal. And the convoy chain is moving far too fast. These aren’t just hauliers—they’re unpredictable, aggressive, and behaving like semi-sentient predators.

Complicating everything is a sealed crate they must deliver untouched. As they battle red-dust storms and feral AI, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: they’re not alone out there. A military-grade Atlas observer hovers silently above, tracking their every move—waiting for the moment they slip.

Welcome to the red zone. Out here, survival has a price.
