About this Item

Paperback. Three and a half centuries ago, a Federation probe found a world with floating islands and an EM storm negating modern tech.Unofficial settlers followed, knowing life would never be the same: without computers or robots - only steam, hand labor, and no way back. They built zeppelins, tamed giant eagles, and forged kingdoms in the clouds. For generations, the sky held.Now the Federation has come again, to study the mineral that keeps the islands aloft - even if it means breaking them apart. And it has tipped the fragile balance of this world.When the paths of an eagle rider, a pilot, a fallen noble, and a field medic cross, their choices will decide whether the sky holds-or falls.

About this title

Synopsis

Islands floating in the sky above the neverending Storm. A fragile world held together by threads that cannot last.

Settlers cling to steam engines and fragile kingdoms, corsairs raid zeppelins, tribes ride giant eagles, and a Federation ship circles in orbit, waiting to strip the planet’s anti-gravity mineral. That uneasy balance is about to collapse.

A tribal rider from a fading islet. A pilot searching for the truth behind an ambush that destroyed her plane and killed her friends. A disgraced noble turned corsair. A Federation field medic. When their paths collide, they uncover forces neither natural nor lasting.

War is coming to the sky. The Storm is rising. And when the sky falls, nowhere will be safe.

A story of floating islands, fractured histories, and the price of postponing hard decisions for the next generation.

From the Back Cover

Floating islands. A perpetual storm that drains energy and ruins electrical devices. Settlers falling back on steam engines, forming kingdoms and republics. Corsairs attacking trade zeppelins. Tribes riding giant eagles. And a Federation ship in orbit, seeking to mine the anti-gravity mineral from the islands.

That uneasy arrangement is about to collapse.

A tribal rider from a fading islet. A pilot searching for the truth behind an ambush that destroyed her plane and killed her friends. A disgraced noble turned corsair. A Federation field medic. When their paths collide, they discover that the world is held together by strings neither natural nor lasting.

War is coming to the sky. The Storm is rising. And when the sky falls, nowhere will be safe.

A story of floating islands, fractured histories, and the price of postponing hard decisions for the next generation.
