action adventure airship broken endless friendship mystery relationship sailing sci-fi ships sky skypunk steampunk world

Five days sailing in a storm that didn't exist six days ago. Chasing an impossible light in a sea of endless sky.                                                                                                              

Vincent Locklear and Mercy Larkin have been set adrift. Their lives upturned, Vincent stripped of his captaincy, and newly purposeless, the pair now sail through a storm. Their course takes them five days into a storm that is less than six days old, birthed by a flash of light that, for just a moment, drowned out the sun. 

Mercy Larkin has lived a lifetime in someone else's world. Taken from her people, raised in indentured servitude, and finding her footing in Volante's navy, having the opportunity to change the course of her life is strange and terrifying. But she has chosen to return to the people who forswore her, and reconcile with the reason she chose her surname Larkin.

Vincent Locklear has never managed to belong to the people he lives alongside. A child of the Monastery; a coven of secretive custodians of old science, he was cast out years ago to make his own way. Despite being an outsider and forced to keep his childhood a secret, he rose to become a ship captain, only to be cast out again.

But what these two will find in the darkness of the storm, will set their lives on a course both demanding and unalterable. To find their way as children of unkindness.Tous Droits Réservés

Wanting Forever, écrit par JenniferSable

All Effone Pacifica has ever wanted is to be the captain of an airship for the ASPECT company. Now that she's successfully earned her own ship, she'll allow nothing to jeopardize her position or her crew. Not even the allure of Trace Fortis' ocean-blue eyes and appreciation for dictionaries could threaten to break through her defenses. But Trace has his own demanding job as a carrier captain, and a hard past that makes romance impossible. When Effone is called away on a critical mission, she knows she has to let him go. Months later, reconnecting on assignment in the most remote, rugged land on earth, Trace and Effone have to face not only their feelings for each other but acts of sabotage from a mysterious enemy. Can they-not to mention their ships and crews-survive the attacks to finish where they left off?

Beneath The Endless Sky, écrit par Arveliot

A shattered world, a sea of sky, and a thousand islands linked together only by the ships that sail beneath the endless blue. Where island kingdoms dream of empire, old allegiances fray under new stress, and old secrets are being unearthed. And into this maelstrom of change, the Ravens' Child is born. They are a clan of four now. Vincent Locklear, cast out of Volante's navy, and carrying the fate of the sky in his heart. Mercy Larkin, giving up finding her place in the world in favour of building it. Anita Hoffman, adrift by choice with one ear to the winds for the family she abandoned. And Leslie Madrigan, stripped of his title by family, and his family by pirates and politics. And in their new ship, paid for by a burden that has shattered islands, they will make their own place beneath the endless blue sky. Children of unkindness, the Ravens' child. And the legacy of unkindness is sorrow. Sorrow, and wings. (Cover art by @rentachi)

Flying beneath the lift bag of the Ravens' Child, accompanying the band of misfits and rogues that crew her, Clarissa begins to learn that the most profound mystery of her voyage is the one she takes with her.
