Splintered Sky

For generations, the cloud cities were haunted by beasts said to bend sunlight and shadow. Now, only one remains: a teenage survivor named Double. Caught between xenophobic kingdoms, Double lives two lives. Together with an orphaned swordstress and a sharp-tempered young mercenary, Double struggles to balance his two lives and his volatile magic.
When a royal captain uncovers hints of Double's secret, a deadly pursuit sparks across the cloud realms. But in a world where loyalties fracture as easily as the skies themselves, Double begins to suspect that he and the captain may not be enemies at all, but pawns in a queen's ruthless plan to seize her husband's crown. If Double can't uncover the truth before his magic fails, the skies themselves may splinter beyond repair.
