When a mission into space goes wrong, you find yourself thrown backwards through time into the middle of the Third Crusade, now a battleground for giant, primitive mechs powered by the energy from mysterious meteorites!

Ironheart is a 245,000-word interactive novel by Lee Williams. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Will you seek to unite a divided land? Or use your advanced knowledge to gain wealth and power for yourself?
Along the way, you may meet historical figures such as Saladin, fight off attacks from the notorious order of Assassins and the secretive Knights Templar, or even take part in a grand tournament between hulking war-machines!
