THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED.
With the Leviathan Bridge critically damaged and its towers unable to control the skies between Yuros and Antiopia, the East has invaded the West. A vast windfleet, constructed in secret, is winging across the Pontic Sea.
The holy Shihad has begun.
The Rondian Empire is divided and weak, in no position to mount a defence. The young Empress Lyra has barely survived a coup, triggered by a masked cabal whose members still remain concealed in the highest echelons of her court. Only her secret affinity to a heretical power saved her – but it’s also her most dangerous weakness.
Time is running out.
As empires clash, lives are torn apart and long-held beliefs are overthrown by circumstance and desperation. Two princes will soon clash in the skies above Yuros – and the fate of nations will ride on their skills.
And all the time, in the background, are the Masks, who are plotting a whole new world – no matter who wins the war.
