A Science Fantasy Series
THE FORGE’S REQUIEM TRILOGY
Altrameda is a machine.
From the day the Tinkerer brought Altrameda to life, her perception of the world has been coloured by humans, regardless of her metal chassis and advanced circuitry. She is an anomaly, an oddity, that her Tinkerer vows to never replicate. Alone, she is a monument to human ingenuity - the masterwork of a brilliant, tortured mind.
After decades of abandonment, Altrameda wakes to learn that she is not the creation of the man she thought she knew.
She is a Stormforged.
She is a Preserver.
And she will fuel her peoples’ decisive resurgence… or be the reason they rust into obsolescence.

“Mistakes are what make us… human,” Rose said.
“We are not human.”
The Forge’s Requiem Trilogy began with S. M. Grey's debut release of The Stormforged in 2022, followed by The Umbraforged in 2025, and The Dreadforged in 2026. The alternative-future series is a blend of science fiction and fantasy with steampunk elements.
Character-driven with a focus on emotional development, the Forge's Requiem series leans into themes of self-acceptance and earned mutual trust through hardship. Human or machine, each character has their own programming flaws to grapple with, and Altrameda's path to find her authentic self offers readers relatable moments of self-reflection and soul searching amidst rising stakes.
Altrameda is an enigma in a world that has forgotten her, but she'll defy her own war machine nature to save it.
