Souja

Inspired by the song Leave her Johnny by the Krakan Shanty Band.
We meet Johnny Gillsman a crewman for the Violet Skye, a skyship that circles the same supersphere from Of Heaven and Fire and Burn Without You, set at the time when Queen Audravienne gives birth to her firstborn son half a world away.
The Violet Skye is the flagship of Salgria Shipping. A shipping company owned by orcs that is primed to be the foremost shipping company in the supersphere.
But while Johnny loves the sea, and the skies and everything about sailing, he is also equally in love with a cook in the infamous Souja Tavern. The biggest and best tavern in the world in Johnny's opinion.
The cook? None other than Nora Souja, who is the last unmarried daughter of the original Souja Family and hieress to Souja Tavern.
The complication? Nora traded her womb to Lady Merideth Ambergreen right before her fateful marraige to Lord Whiteale in exchange for ownership of the Tavern. And in the five years since has adopted two children.
What's a poor sailor to do? Torn between the sky and the sea and the woman he loves and her family?
