In a sky ruled by mercenaries, pirates, and monsters below the clouds, one pilot flies too fast, drinks too much, and dodges death like it’s a sport.
Zham Sa-Yool never planned to follow his sister into exile, but when Quedra—once the Diamond Knife of the military—lost everything to political sabotage, he climbed aboard her battered airship Last Stop and never looked back.
Now Quedra commands a crew of desperate misfits, and Zham leads the tiny but gutsy air wing trying to keep them alive. Their latest job? Venture into the lethal cloud floor known as the Layer and hunt for a vanished expedition that may have uncovered a lost haven for humanity.
It’s a chance at redemption—or a one-way ticket to extinction.
