The fate of the Cinder Spires may be decided by
crossed swords in the next exhilarating fantasy adventure
from the author of the Dresden Files, in this New York Times
bestselling series of noble families, swordplay, and
airships.
For centuries the Cinder
Spires have safeguarded humanity, rising far above the
deadly surface world. Within their halls, aristocratic
houses rule, developing scientific marvels and building
fleets of airships for defense and trade.
Now,
the Spires hover on the brink of open war.
Everyone knows it's coming. The guns of the great airship
fleets that control the skies between the last bastions of
humanity will soon speak in anger, and Spire Albion stands
alone against the overwhelming might of Spire Aurora's
Armada and its new secret weapon--one capable of destroying
the populations of entire Spires.
A trading
summit at Spire Olympia provides an opportunity for the
Spirearch, Lord Albion, to secure alliances that will shape
the outcomes of the war, and to that end he dispatches
privateer Captain Francis Madison Grimm and the crew of the
AMS Predator to bolster the Spirearch's diplomatic agents.
It will take daring, skill, and no small amount
of showmanship to convince the world to stand with Spire
Albion--assuming that it is not already too late.
