Cloud Crystals

In the land of Farain, cities float hundreds of feet above the ground and ships sail the winds high in the sky with the aid of powerful crystals. At first glance, Farain is a country of peace and prosperity. Behind the scenes, its lowliest citizens toil to mine the crystals that keep the country running, and discontent is spreading among the people like a sickness.

Hayden Marsh's father is a very powerful man, as he controls the crystal distribution lines. He has seemed a bit on edge of late, with a journey to the capital Sky City of Zyrin next on his agenda. This time, Hayden is excited to accompany his father and get a glimpse of the greatest city ever built.

However, other forces are at play. Their ship is attacked by pirates over wild jungles. The only survivors: Hayden, a rich merchant's nephew named Jacob, and a mysterious stowaway named Myra. They will soon be plunged into a dangerous world of pirates and rebels, a world that they never even knew existed. When they are found by an explorer on a mission from the King itself, they begin to realize that everything is more connected then they thought, and that terrible things are in motion.

And suddenly, everyone is a little too interested in Hayden.
