For centuries, they have safeguarded the skies, balancing peace between nations and magical factions-dragons, elves, and vampires alike. Kai, a dragonborn from the rugged outskirts of Lagos, has always dreamt of more than his modest life growing vegetables with his fiery breath. When he gets the opportunity to join the elite Aetherwing Brigade, his life is thrown into a whirlwind of ambition, magic, and mystery. Alongside Isaac, a sharp-tongued elf with a past as tangled as his jokes, Bayu, a talented wizard haunted by expectations, and Tomoya, a brooding half-werewolf, half-vampire with deadly secrets, Kai must navigate his first mission: resolving a volatile feud between magical factions in the heart of Antigua. But as the team uncovers the darker side of their mission, the shadows of betrayal loom large. With political unrest threatening the fragile peace, Kai realizes that being a guardian of the sky is far more dangerous than he ever imagined. In a world where airships rule the skies and magic is the key to survival, can the Aetherwing Brigade keep the peace, or will they be the spark that ignites a global war? The Aetherwing Brigade is a thrilling blend of steampunk invention, historical intrigue, and magical adventure-a tale of unlikely heroes, fierce friendships, and sky-high battles that test their resolve to the very core. They are "Guardians of the Sky, Keepers of Peace."

I had no option. Because eventually, there are to many tears and the damn breaks. Eventually, the weight of the world crushes me and I cry. And I can't hold back.
