The Flying Barons of Egriponte

In early 13th century, Latin invaders came on their flying galleys and conquered the defenceless Byzantine Empire. Forty years later, a fragile peace between the victorious nobles is maintained by way of anemo regattas, races of flying boats, with the winner granted any wish that is in the Emperor's power to deliver.

Ikaria is not a Latin - she's a half-Greek daughter of a brilliant anemo engineer, and a genius of the science herself; her dream is to one day win the great regatta of Egriponte, the most prestigious of all competitions - but the commoners have just been banned from taking part in the races. To realise her dream, she must ally with a nobleman - a mysterious Greek turncoat, Mikhael.
