Key (Paperback or Softback)

With the fate of his squadron hanging in the balance, battle-weary Commander Zinkx Maz embarks on a quest to the distant land of Pennadot to find the legendary Key— or die trying.

No one knows what the Key is or what it unlocks. The legends reveal only that it may be the last hope for their collapsing world.

Haunted by the horrors of the Trenches, Zinkx joins forces with a Kelib woman fleeing slavery and an ethereal stranger whose language stirs memories Zinkx does not recognise. Together, they must uncover the secrets of an ancient race while a shadow hunts their every step.

An invitation draws the sheltered Prince of Pennadot beyond the walls of Palace-Town, offering both him and his troubled ward, Skyeola Mazaki, their first taste of freedom. But behind the throne lies a web of secrets, rebellion and betrayal—and Skyeola may already be one of its pawns.

As danger closes around them, can they find the Key before Pennadot falls?
