Kris Denn fights for their island's place in the Warders' Circle, the ancient institution that has kept peace among the sky nations for generations. The Circle operates from the neutral islands of Twaa-Fei, where formal magical duels replace warfare between competing powers. But this delicate system faces collapse as the Mertikan Empire masses for conquest and Quloo's trade empire crumbles without the aerstone that keeps their ships and islands airborne. Meanwhile, Oda no Michiko uncovers lies about her conquered homeland's true history. As both challengers disrupt the established order, their actions threaten to shatter the balance that has prevented war. The coming storm will either unite all the peoples who inhabit the skies or destroy them completely.
