"Both a genre romp and a meditation that delivers an expansion of Maynard's world while running rings around everything I loved about Harry Potter. A masterful handle of the craft that had me grinning, punching the air and gasping. I can't wait for what's next."

Snow falls on Carthage skyport. Rumours of revolution stir in the east, while the denizens of Carthage prepare for the mid-winter festival.

Among the areonauts and revellers is the loud-mouthed Maynard Trigg, the councillor's son. When a pirate from his family's past appears warning of coming danger, Maynard is swept from his life into an adventure that spans across opensky, drawing him toward the heart of civilization, and embroils him in the storm of a bloody revolution that awaits the resurrection of a dead King.
