HEART OF FLAME

In a world covered with toxic clouds, the survivors have built kingdoms on the mountain peaks and travel by wooden vessels telekinetically raised by Lifters. To the south is a group of small warlike kingdoms where the draal – flying reptiles that blow fire – live, free from the Order’s control. Arvis, the young and rebellious princess of one such Peak, despite being expected to marry a formidable warrior, embarks on a quest to find her missing father and the secret he uncovered — a secret that could save their entire world.

 

THE BOUNDS OF THE SKY

After crossing the gap in the Crest Mountains, Arvis discovers that east of the mountains the Covering doesn’t exist. Instead, the Finite Sea extends under the Elside Protectorate, where the Elected governs. Arvis and the Elected’s daughter, Lairathi, will discover a deep and romantic bond. In the meantime, to the west, the war between old and new enemies resumes. The princess of the Aivalghir will have to find a way to save herself, and stop the upcoming terrible war.
