Aetheris was once whole... a world of endless horizons and serene skies, until the Shattering, a cataclysm that tore the planet apart, leaving only fragments of land adrift in a boundless sky. Now, the floating continents of Aetheris hover precariously over the swirling Void Sea, held together by ancient dragons, elemental beings who are the guardians of the planet's fragile balance.
Aryn Elara, a young woman of the Skyborn people, possesses a rare and dangerous gift: the ability to hear the Songs of the Dragons. These mystical melodies connect her to the elemental forces that keep her world from falling apart. But as the winds that hold the continents aloft begin to fail, and storms from the Void Sea grow ever closer, Aryn's connection to the dragons becomes more urgent-and more perilous.
Desperate to save her people and prevent a new catastrophe, Aryn sets out on a journey to awaken the Aetherdrakes, ancient dragons of air who control the vital currents of the skies. Along the way, she uncovers dark secrets about the Shattering and the hidden role the dragons play in keeping Aetheris together. But Aryn isn't the only one seeking the power of the dragons.
A secretive faction known as the Cabal of the Shattered believes that destruction, not harmony, is the key to restoring balance. They seek to awaken an ancient, destructive dragon buried deep beneath the Void Sea, one capable of reshaping the world, or destroying it completely. As Aryn races to understand the true nature of her gift and the dragons' songs, she must decide whether to trust the dragons' cryptic guidance or forge her own path to save Aetheris.
In a world of floating lands, elemental forces, and forgotten magic, Aryn's journey will challenge everything she knows about her people, the dragons, and the world she fights to protect. The balance of Aetheris is fragile, and only Aryn holds the key to its salvation or destruction.
