The Wind-Shear Cartographer

About this book

Seventeen-year-old Lyss Vane is a pragmatic cartographer in the Shale-Span Archipelago, a fractured world where floating landmasses drift above a deadly, phosphorescent sea. Driven solely by self-preservation and profit, Lyss finds herself trapped in a collapsing territory after a catastrophic seismic failure. Forced into an uneasy alliance with a principled medic-scholar named Elian and a defecting Syndicate pathfinder named Rykker, she must navigate crumbling rock bridges and evade territorial wind-predators. As they push across unmapped strata, the narrative weaves between her grueling present survival and fragmented memories of a betrayal six weeks prior. When her stolen, world-altering artifact malfunctions, Lyss faces an impossible choice: use its remaining power to secure her own escape pod, or sacrifice her getaway to stabilize the collapsing sky-communities, forever branding herself an enemy of the ruthless Cartel Syndicate.
