An unstoppable fleet of black airships descends on a magical realm; salvation falls to an unlikely heroine and a forgotten sphere.
Once a fertile and prosperous land, Ile-Rien is under attack by the Gardier, a mysterious army whose storm-black airships appear from nowhere to strike without warning. Every weapon in the arsenal of Ile-Rien's revered wizards has proven useless.
Tremaine Valiarde, a playwright drafted from her country estate into a desperate defense project, matches the devastating aerial bombardment of a kingdom against a forgotten clockwork prototype hidden in a library cabinet.
The fortified estate of Coldcourt yields an ancient device of copper strips and wheels, setting the survival of the realm against an instrument crafted only to purr like a cat. And now the last hope of a magical realm under siege rests within a child's plaything.
- Parallel Worlds: An accidental spell transport flings Tremaine from Vienne to the fog-shrouded Syrnai coast, uniting her with Ilias and Giliead, a god-chosen warrior sworn to execute rogue sorcerers.
- Steampunk: Gaslit boulevards, telephone switchboards, and armored motorcars collide with dark sorcery as the massive passenger liner Queen Ravenna prepares to run an aerial blockade.
- Creature Horror Fantasy: Lurking in subterranean labyrinths, razor-clawed howlers and winged grend stalk the darkness alongside an army of enslaved workers trapped beneath the Isle of Storms.
- Epic Fantasy Adventure: Armed with home-brewed naphtha catapults and an unpredictable magical sphere, an uneasy cross-world alliance fights to dismantle the enemy's hidden staging ground before their homeland falls.
- Also by This Author: The Death of the Necromancer, The Gate of Gods and The Ships of Air.
