The First Engine Tycoon
She built the road before the world learned to walk.
She died in a world that already had roads.
She woke up in a kingdom that still believed horses were the peak of civilization.
Transmigrated into a rigid feudal era ruled by nobles, guilds, and outdated traditions, Elara Veyne finds herself reborn as the overlooked daughter of a declining noble house—a woman with no power, no title, and no future worth mentioning.
Except for one thing.
She remembers a world that moved.
Wheels. Engines. Roads. Industry.
While the kingdom remains trapped in endless wars, political stagnation, and reliance on brute force, Elara quietly begins building something no one understands—and everyone fears.
Not magic.
Not divine blessings.
But machines.
Her first invention is dismissed as madness.
Her second is mocked as heresy.
Her third changes trade forever.
As roads begin to replace battlefields and engines challenge the dominance of aristocracy, Elara rises from a forgotten noblewoman into the most dangerous kind of power—a tycoon who controls movement, logistics, and wealth.
Standing at her side is Prince Caelan Auremont, a war-hardened royal bound by tradition, duty, and a kingdom on the brink of collapse. He does not believe in miracles—but he believes in Elara.
Their alliance begins as necessity.
Their trust is forged through resistance and sacrifice.
And their romance burns slowly, dangerously, beneath political tension and unspoken desire.
But progress has a price.
The nobility wants her silenced.
The church wants her condemned.
The old powers want her erased before the world learns how to move without them.
As Elara’s engines reshape history, she must decide:
Will she merely survive this era—
or become the woman who rewrites it?
In a world that never imagined wheels could rule kingdoms,
she becomes the First Engine Tycoon.
